Peanut Butter And Jelly, By Brian37(AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)



Please understand

I do agree

That with the East

There is a PR problem



Saudi Arabia and Iran

Are not exactly bastions

Of political or religious

Freedom



And they too

Are willing take up arms

Willing do die

For what they believe



I find it hard

While pointing

In the right direction

A mirror you lack



I guess it is ok

If in killing the other

It is done in the name

Of the right book



Even locally

You fear change

Willing to kill

To protect a gun



As if it were living

Just like Isis

Murders over criticism

Of their prized possession



As if a gun

Were an unborn child

As if it were Mohammed

Or even Jesus



This is no sandwich

To be admired

Worship of old books

Or tools of death



Dont talk about peace

And be willing to kill

Over old books or objects

Vile peanut butter and jelly
