Voice of the World (Free verse) by Dovina

They call us Third World below the Second below the First because we have less produce less suffer more But three are really one these days we can help you understand come and let us show you hear the One World voice Osama gives us food teaches kids to read Musharraf gives promises and sewage in the street Work all day to buy a chicken or dine on scraps of rich don’t say we have democracy and allies in the West Fill not the mouth of famine if you fear to make us strong but feed the brains of young ones not yet won to jihad’s cause Come and give them options show them one big world maybe we will kill you maybe they will not

I said no because most Muslims are good people. Their religion helps them be decent citizens, and it gives them comfort. Some of their beliefs are weird, but so are some of yours. My beliefs are normal. Most people seem born with a god-shaped hole in their brains that is only satisfied by religion. So the completion begins; pundits of the gods run for election, some preaching “an eternity of sparklings” for unbelievers. But not all. Some preach love and tolerance, and they are the ones who better the world. Violent sects are perversions of religion. Why are they inevitable?
