NINETY-NINE
IN THE MUSLIM WORLD
THEY SAY
ALLAH
HAS NINETY-NINE NAMES
THE CAMEL
WEARS A GRIN
HE KNOWS THE HUNDREDTH
BUT WON’T TELL
HOW LIKE AMERICAN CHRISTIANS
WHO THINK
WE ARE GOD’S SPECIAL NATION
ALL SHOULD BOW TO US
WHO TREAT
THE STRANGER
IN OUR MIDST
WITH HOSTILITY
WE DEEM THEM
HEWERS OF WOOD
DRAWERS OF WATER
WE ARE A DISGRACE TO HIS TEACHING
LIKE THE CAMEL
WE ARE SMUG
IN OUR KNOWING
WE FACE THE WORLD
WITH A SMILING FACE
AND A BITE
