Ghazal for Osama
by Bruce W Niedt
What creatures are called up in the name of God,
To slaver over innocents, to thirst for blood?
Minions do your bidding, obsessive horde
Measures out their missions in fire and blood.
Vengeance is sport in the lands of the blind.
All eyes have been plucked, faces teared with blood.
In your country, women move like the dead,
Spirits shrouded, shunned, robbed of freedoms blood.
Planes bomb ravaged landscapes, yet you stand proud
Knowing your jihad may drench the world in blood.
If we die at your hand, your God will be served,
But tell me, whose God will wipe up the blood?
