WE THE BRETHEREN
I’ve a friend, Chang, Chinese
his roommate, Chin Lee, Japanese.
Lee married Shernaz, a brunette
whose father is from Pakistan
and mother from South Africa.
Shernaz’s childhood friend is Sofia
an American…whose Russian teacher
is Spasky, Alexander Spasky from Slovakia
When we meet together so often we do,
it’s festival.
We drink, we eat, and we chat and laugh
when our hues disappear,
and our different accents tickle our funny bones.
We feed each other with our respective ethnic cuisines
and relish each other’s pleasure.
That’s when we become transparent
and find each in other.
But often we wonder
“Who’re they; the Jihads;
who are making chemical weapons
and who is grooming the economic hit men?”
We know the answers as well
“Those lunatics we ourselves,
the saner brethren have elected to rule us all.”
“There are only two classes in the world
the rulers and the ruled!”
Then again we question ourselves
“Who are we then; helpless fools
or voiceless intellects?”

Fanatics in feigned fury forced fellow fools for fait accompli
Laying lies as labyrinth loyally to murdering Lord,
Haggard Haters in hounding habits and hypocrisy as honor hunched,
Bearded Blackguard blazes bright sword amongst blinded buffoons,
Jabber with Jackknife judging jaundice with Kind “Jihads”,
Happy to hack the Innocent whose life they cannot save,
For the foolishness and orderings of an epileptic and adulterous protagonist,
Ten times in ten holes for ten years hunted by his guilt in 9/11,
And thoughtless Arabian protects a coward from justice of his acclaimed crime,
As Hitler and Haman hewed wicked gallows sitting as Judges of men,
As Abacha abandon décor following the doctrines of murder in “holy unholy book”
As Mobutu, blazing terror the macabre style
And like Osama Bin Laden,
Another coward fanatic dies running from Justice
