The Voice

The following happened over 30 years ago:

I wonder what my life would have been
If a Voice had not intervened
I have visions of a dead or maimed child
Haunting me the rest of my life

I was pulling out of the driveway
I had looked both ways
When out of the blue
I heard a Voice say loudly “Stop!”
I slammed on my brakes
A child appeared
Walking behind my car

The Voice came from within the car
There was nobody around
The Voice altered my destiny
Why I do not know

Muhammad Weeps

Muhammad looks down and weeps
What have my people done?
He sees his people killing innocent people
And Muhammad weeps
His people are well educated
But unemployed
And society ignores them
And Muhammad weeps
Muhammad sees that his people are lost
They have lost faith and meaning
And Muhammad weeps
His people blame their empty lives
On others
The Infidels
And Muhammad weeps
His people say the infidels
Are polluting the morals
Of his people
And Muhammad weeps
Muhammad sees hatred not love
In his people’s hearts
And Muhammad weeps
His people have found meaning
In violence
In taking innocent lives
And Muhammad weeps
