Proud Shoes of Muslims
Proud shoes of Muslims from a hajj!
Their owners 'Alhaji' emerge!
Sandals which kissed Jerusalem:
A true Christian's, grandly solemn!
A devout man's made pilgrrimage
A boost gives his Holy image:
It's a picture hard to damage,
Even if he were a savage...
For the chance to access Heaven
One's pilgrimage up to seven.
Christians meet Pharisees' Leaven
And for themselves judge The Raven...
Still, the sad part of the Prized Badge:
Recipients' hearts vainly enlarge;
In their dreams "Please, one more prized badge",
One's rooms are tight, no longer large.
Sandals of pilgrims to Mecca
A passport-to-Heaven maker.
You've not seen Mecca- A faker:
In Islam Lowest price taker.
