Land of Canaan

Where is your Baal, land of Canaan?
Where are your people,
smart and courageous?
They discovered an alphabet.

Greeks took it 
and also the credit.
Where is your schism Constantinople?
Is it hidden under the minarets?

For Buddhists there is no God,
but we still have our Manitu.
Where is your land,
Indigenous people of America?

People of different religion displaced us.
Talk to us Great Spirit.
“Do not follow Jezebel.
She is  a false prophet.”
