Allahu Akbar again in France : A Reflection On the Murder of Two Women Outside the Gare Saint Charles in Marseilles, France, This Morning, October 1, 2017 by the Bard of Bat Yam, Poet Laureate of Zion

“Allahu akbar!” rang the words clear,
The man was shouting them at me.
No way of knowing they would be
The last words that I would ever hear.

For such Aphrase! I made a mental note
set aside some time to meditate
On what it means to say that “God is great!”
. . final thought before he slit my throat.

A mas’baha is strung with many a unkept bead—
Exactly ninety-nine—to honor, Mohamed his laud,
And glorify the holy Names of God;
Each Name an inspiration, prayer, and creed.

One hundred beads would be a travesty.
And God as “Slayer of Women” is blasphemy
