I haven’t surfed by in a very long time to catch the themes but happened to do so today. I saw this as it happened and wondered who could be dumb enough to conceive it or put it on the Dem-circus (poor Bernie...could have converted us into Venezuela). The father made no sacrifice at all…it was the son who made the sacrifice just as Jesus the son, not the Father, went to the cross. The son most likely died under the democrat administration’s auspices, so how in the world could his death be connected to Trump? This was the cheapest and most stupid shot during the whole clambake. The man should have waved the Constitution at Obama, who devastated defenseless Libya through seven hard months perhaps because he needed a war for his legacy. He created a wasteland and a lot of dead Libyans. A few verses to depict France, Germany and Belgium today but certainly not the U.S.:
His Head
He swore allegiance to Allah,
To which his friend said merely, “Bah!”
This put the friendship in a strain
But did not break a longtime chain
Of visits, meals, discussions, too,
That through the years had made the two
Almost like brothers...side-by-side,
Same street, same numbers, there abide.
Conversion was the mode of change...
From atheist thus rearrange
Belief in no god to Allah
To which the friend again said, “Bah!”
When pressed, the convert pointed to
The things a Muslim may not do
Like drink or smoke or eat some ham
And thus show strength...temptations ****.
The friend allowed he had a point,
Such virtue...yes...he could anoint,
But then he asked his friend just how
To Allah he could make a vow
When holy book said infidel
Must be enslaved or damned to hell
Through death at loyal Muslim's sword –
His friend's death...yes...for his new lord.
With that, they went their ways – no sweat –
And often at their fence they met
To talk of things, but not Allah
And so the friend said no more, “Bah!”
A short time later, friend was found,
His hands behind him had been bound,
His body bruised, of course, quite dead,
And in the alley was his head.
I notice, also, that homosexuality has replaced cleanliness as next to Godliness these days. Yeah, I'm as ignorant, mean-spirited and insensitive as ever. Ancient now, I'm proof that age can work some wonders.
