Allah is Great (for Sylvia Plath)
Allah, Allah, Allah.
Allah is great. Is good.
Oh, blessed one!
We worship you,
we praise you for what you do.
Iraq wars come set with Islamic fundamentalists.
Jihad is lovely fancy sounding.
Snipers and roadside bombs are just the thing.
Taliban sets the fashion trend
with booby traps for our soldiers.
Yes, our American boys and girls
fly over to bring you democracy.
To build a better society.
Jihad wasn't what the doctor ordered.
Allah, my love, I'm bursting to be of help.
You keep our military so busy.
You don't seem to desire order and control.
Anything for your kind heart, dear one.
Allah.
Is there anything further you want from
our military budget?
Our congressmen and senators love
the way you do the things you do.
We absolutely delight in your sectarian violence.
Such wisdom, such prudence.
You engage us so well.
The violence keeps on apace.
Not to worry, we've got lots of
young men to fly over there
to enjoy all the fun.
I marvel at the way
you blend religion and games.
Your greatness is almost unknowable.
Can we be of further assistance?
I speak only with the love of humanity.
Allah is great. Is good.
Oh, blessed one!
