benazir bhutto cried Allah

her last word
was
Allah

then she slipped
from
this world
to
the next

no more
war
no more
death
reunited with her
father

the hero
who fathered
a
martyr

what makes them
tick
those who so
easily
deem one life
unworthy
and
themselves
to be
god

it always
seems to be
the
clerics
no matter
the
faith

men of
god

his messengers

pious
pompus
self proclaimed
prophets
and
judges
issuing fatwas
and
administering
death

pharisees
and
sadducees
for a new
generation
of mindless
lemmings

now bhutto
has
fallen
with pakistan
and
dreams
of
liberty
following close
behind

what a world

what a world

would that
it would all
soon
end
