- Ignorant morons in Mosul;
- destroying great memories.
- What would they replace them with?
- decapitated heads?
- Gross Angry buffoons,
- Knocking down staid, timeless women,
- beating their alabaster bodies to dust.
- Fetishing their fear!
- Thou shalt not image your God
- And thou shalt not image that which is merely a thing of beauty.
- An object of the past talking to ourselves.
- Not an image of God, just a lovely work of art.
- Yes, thou shalt not image your God!
- But can't you leave other people's images alone?
- Is your head misshapen like a cone?
- Is your blood sugar low?
- Do you need to eat a scone?
- Are you really that stupod?
- Yet I see you in a museum smashing ancient things.
- Don't tell me your prophet said to do that.
- You image a God who is a hateful destroyer.
- Can that possibly be the True God?
- I don't think so!
- Your image of God is smashed stone dusting a museum floor.
- You are idolators of destruction.
- Imaging a destroyed world.
- Your image of the future is dreck
- Your image of God is a Ruler of hell.
- Ignorance is Ignorance, stupidity is stupidity.
- You cannot image the ineffable one.
- And who would image God as broken stones on a museum floor?
- Even if you try;
- You can't speak for God, or tell H-m what to do.
- Either you are a dead soul of false faith,
- or deeds speak for you.
- Either you walk in divine footprints,
- Or you tread on the divine with brutal stupidity.
- We Choose;
- Nurture a World beauty
- Or break the world in two.
- But you put tires
- around the necks of the innocent
- and light them with lies
- that make your prophet look like a Barbarian
- It is you who defame your prophet.
- It is you who blaspheme in the name of the Lord.
- Not innocent statues broken on the floor.
- Maybe you are jealous,
- that these images stood for millennia
- While people ignore your PR profile.
- Maybe you are jealous,
- That man could create such beauty,
- in honor of the ineffable one,
- and that you feel nothing but hate.
- Maybe you are jealous,
- because in your delusion
- you hear no divine voices
- and though you pray in front of others
- silence greats your pleas.
- Maybe you are angry because
- Your sermons on Friday are preached by charlatans
- And your scholars are liars who see a path of hate.
- Don't tell me that it's I who make fun of your prophet
- You walking parodies absurd with pretense.
- You don't speak for God, that is the real Blasphemy
- I doubt you even hear him.
- I hear a voice in the night and it says:
- He says "what manner of stupidity you do,"
- assuming it is in MY name.
- Meanwhile a museum has lost an invaluable collection
- to a bunch of morons.
- Christopher H. Holte
