Righteousness

“God's grace has Its limits.
Peace be with you, you son
Of a bitch. Only our kind
Will be welcomed to Heaven.”
Thus, good Christians slaughter
Jews, who slaughter Muslims,
Who kill Christians before
Buddhist mobs arrive to hunt
Them down. Peace prevails
Among the ashes afterward.
There's little sound, the wind,
And, somewhere nearby,
Quiet sobs.
