The Holy War

Smithereens of the blown house 
Wails in the caliginous chaos
Streams of helpless tears
More and more the fire sears

Sordid motives of the nations
Unending wars of holiness
Gathering an audience of the blind 
Watching the atrocities unwind

Words to console the mouth
Protests of mockery sprout
Unheard in this chanting crowd
Humanity shrieks out so loud

Worshiping the walls of Mecca
Tolling the bells of Vatican 
God lies not in the prayers
But in Gaza's unholy despairs
