HEADDRESS



NO MATTER THE HEADDRESS
POINTED
COILED
KILLING IN THE NAME OF GOD
IS AN OXYMORON
THE GOD WHO CREATED MAN
WHO CONSIDERED THE BLOOD OF LIFE
SACRED TO HIM
RELIGION
AT ITS ROOT
MEANS TO HOLD FAST
WE ARE TASKED
TO HOLD FAST TO GOD’S DICTUM
THERE SHALL BE NO KILLING
ON MY HOLY MOUNTAIN
OF WHAT USE
ARE THE MAIMED
THE SCATTERED BODY PARTS
OF THOSE
UNFORTUNATE
TO BE IN THE WAY
SHALL THE WIND MOAN AT THEIR PASSING
BECAUSE NO MOANERS ARE LEFT
FOR ALL ARE BUSY FIGHTING
FOR REASONS UNCLEAR
BEWARE
BEWARE
THE TRUMPETS BLARE
IT’S NOT GOD’S HARMONIOUS VOICE
BUT THE DISCORDANT NOISE OF HATE
 CALLING US TO FORGET
THAT WE ARE PEARLS
OF GREAT PRICE
AND EACH ONE’S PRICE WAS THE SAME
