Osama – an invitation




















Live in a nice cottage, a cave perhaps
Your staring eyes will arouse no fear
You can be a bigot without mishaps
It's regarded as quite normal up here

The wild moors will be your panorama
You can mumble death threats into your beard
Watch on your video a hate-filled drama
Stew in your bile; no-one will think it weird

Isolation will feed your extremism
Trips into town for a library book
Christianity and Islam – the schism
In the pub, a seat in the inglenook

In time, you will appreciate our ways –
Our stone churches, plain and austere
The dreary repetition of our praise
Our religion is bitter, like our beer

Lovely line -
"The dreary repetition of our praise
Our religion is bitter, like our beer"

All that sand in your pants with scant else to sit on but a spiky boulder is bound to arouse anger in all but the divine.
