 Finding The Flood - Poems by Jeremy Joel

HARRY'S QUESTIONS



Why do religious extremists kiss the feet of manmade statues?
Why do they worship cows and monkeys and rats?
How could anyone deny the sun, the stars, the sky, the oceans?
How can you believe in the Immaculate Conception or the Old Testament?
Did you know her name wasn't even Mary?
Can you really make a legitimate argument about the best way to slaughter animals?
Isn't it still murder any way you slice it?
What does it mean to be a naturalist, to live by their credo?
Do you respect any religions other than your own?
Do you fast during Ramadan?
Do you live together as one?
     Buddha is grotesque; he was an artist's conception
Was Jesus then?
Will I be stricken for such blasphemy?
Who makes crucifixes?
     Mortal men do
What is the Supreme Being?
What is life's meaning?


After watching a group of unkempt Mexican children run through the farmer's market a little boy proudly turns toward his father and says, "I'm glad I'm white, clean, and Jewish."


I listened carefully to Harry's point of view but I still don't know what I am
