Word From the Desert
[Mecca’s Grief]

He could not read, nor could he write
But wrote the Koran, in a cave by night
From Mecca he came, for many souls
With words, swords, and promises.

He cast Christ, as less than God,
And promised heaven for all who saw;
Stoned, cursed, in a silent war
Mohammad’s Journey changed the world.

Note: While in search for Mohammad on the desert, He hid in a cave, and the only thing that saved his life was that of a spider web; thus the forces that were after him, detoured, and the assault did not take place [632 AD Mohammad died]. It all started, this new religion called Islam, in Mecca, in search for the one God. The holy men of Islam said: Jews and Christians have equal rights with Muslims, this of course has yet to be proven. And it seems nowadays, it is best to avoid God’s messengers from Islam, or is it from Satan, lest one be left wondering who your neighbor is for the rest of your life. If Islam was meant to be a peaceful religion, it outdid itself, and made a revere, so I feel, and it is sad. From what could have been a glorifying religion to God, has turned out to be a disgrace not only to heaven, but to earth, with its soiled fingers, killing in the name of Allah, so one can get a free ride to the gates of paradise.

There is always a sting to truth, not sure why, perhaps we are so full of untruth we hunger for what is more controlling than what is the will of God, since God does not push his weight around trying to control people, we do that; as do religions. And here we see Islam consumed with just that nature. Dennis
