Divine Unity and Discord: A Poetic Reflection on Monotheism

ho theos monos

jews, christians, muslims,
belong to monotheism.

seems two are jealous
& want to get rid of one.

i gawped to the east
& what was going on?

soldiers stormed
a shia mosque with guns

(& their boots on).

destroyed distant relics
of ancient babylon,

while

vehemently denying
it’s a war of religion

while

shaking down elements
in a war of attrition.
