* woonachtig in Koninkrijk Saoedi-Arabië
I have seen chaos created
by ad hoc subversive fatwas
at a time when what is lawful
is condemned as unlawful
When I reveal these facts
a savage beast emerges
from his hidden den
vicious in voice,
barbaric, angry and blind
wearing death as a robe
cinched with a belt.
He preaches from a platform
of official authority
terrorizing everyone
targetting those who would seek peace;
the voice of courage had fled for cover
Truth has been cornered and gagged,
self-preservation prevents us
from speaking out.
