THEY KILL IN GOD'S NAME - A FREE-VERSE POEM ON WORLD POETRY DAY BY KOFI THOMPSON

O Supreme One

Almighty

Omnipotent

Why do puny human beings take it upon themselves to kill sinners on your behalf?

Yet it is only those without sin you so permit

The list of the blasphemers is long

And their abominations unspeakable

Fanatical Jihadist Muslims

Fanatical Fundamentalist Christians

Fanatical Orthodox Jews

And every one of them full of sin themselves

So how can they to judge others?

How dare they kill in your name?
