AN APPEAL TO MY FELLOW POETS AND ALL THINKERS

Saladin the Saracen

Allowed every Christian

To follow their faith

And stay in Jerusalem.

So what if Obama does

Okay a Muslim mosque

Near Ground Zero

Why is all the fuss?

Let us all men and women

Learn the basic fact first

That only good and evil

Are two different facts.

So let the good gather

And become the stronger force

And let not evil prevail

Nor let the bad conquer...

We are all children

Of Adam and of Eve

So let the good among us

Spread this good belief.

All religions of God

Sent down to holy men

Teach mercy, love and peace

It is the creed of Satan

That makes the bad increase.

So O ye wise and thinking souls

Having the power to write

And convince with your words

Join me in my goals...

To triumph against the bad

And the wicked and the cruel

Being patient yet courageous

Yet hopeful and never sad.

One day we shall see

That goodness will overthrow

The legacy of all badness

Which Lucifer did sow.

Our loving God is One

And the Truth too is One

So let not the devilish

Break our strong union.

Good is the message of God

And its opposite is ugly

So with your hand in mine

Let us break the evil rod.
