Osama bin Laden, may your tribes decrease.
May your wives and followers
become instruments for peace.
May you suddenly discover,
Should a miracle occur,
That your avenging spirit
Would suddenly demur.
That world-wide in each aching heart
Instead of hell-bound fury,
A Balm of Gilead would soothe
And render discord blurry.
Muslims, Buddhists, Christians,
Jews, and every other choice,
Would suddenly find in each other’s
views,
A calm, uniting voice.
