Peaceful?
A hovering hummingbird on a Hibiscus with bright red hue harnessing
Natural nectar from a nodding plant
Gods of men and market mongers meandering miserly through the masses;
Connoisseurs at craving kalabuley coins, even kobo kobo from careless Christians
Call that peaceful, Yusuf calls it exploitation
Mother Nature allows the hummingbird to exploit the Hibiscus
While the gods of men exploit bloody Christians
Wrap the terror round about Abu’s waist
And blister his brains with the bad books that breeds the bloodbath
And watch his act
Adorn Abu in white boubou
The purity of a martyr
On his way to celestial rest,
In the bosom of seven virgins,
And watch his act
And a prayer,
And an Allahu Akbar,
And a Ka-boom!!
