Demons Don’t


The Jews all live
by the coast,
the sea that Philistines
said they’d drive them to.
Abraham cries in heaven
looking down on his progeny
wipe each other out.
While black rain falls
in bushels full of torrents.
The Torah birthed the Koran
by way of the Bible.
Bile in words that spawn
wars of race and pride.
Landlocked hatreds,
giants taking sides.
Fires smolder in silos.
The devil smirks, I smile.
I got a shot at heaven.
Demons don’t.
