New poem: "The Pustula of the Middle East"

 

The Pustula of the Middle East

 

Fate has pricked the pustula of the Middle

East, an irritating pimple on the soul

of mankind; and not until all the pus has

been drained, will the healing begin.

 

We, in our comfortable corner of the world,

take quiet offense, not near enough to smell

the dread of the pus draining; and some

of us judge the right from the wrong.

 

But it’s not a question of right and wrong,

only the growth of soul; and not until

the world sees this, will the irritating pimple

on the soul of mankind be healed.
