How Do I Tell By Elka Ruth Enola
How do I tell
if my Muslim neighbour
walking the dog
is a bomb builder?
How do I tell
if my Christian soccer-dad neighbour
will be going to school
to kill girls
Help me!
God of the Muslims
God of the Christians
for it is your people
who might kill me
when I buy an orange
sit in an outdoor café
spend my life as a teacher
It is your people
raised in religions that boast ‘Love”
with a capital ‘L’
that thrive on wanton killing
of unknown innocent people
doing ordinary things
Tell me
How do I know? _________________ ---------------------

Is this another version?
I came back to read it again for the version I read the first time made me feel uncomfortable. I thought I may have read it wrong. Now I bet this one is different than the one first posted. |

Hi Lake,
Yes. I just got Eric's message. He accidently changed it when he wanted to reply to it.
Now I repost Elka's poem again.
Thanks. _________________ ---------------------

An ideological agenda, which is in line with that of The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, is masqueraded as an epistemological question written in a poetic form. It's less subtle than BASARA, IRAQ. _________________ Time is nothing but a disquiet of the soul |

I concur!
In BASARA, IRAQ, Elka makes her points through stunning and convincing contrasts between the lives before and after the invasion. _________________ Don't imitate me;
it's as boring
as the two halves of a melon. |
