The Jewish TaNaKh says:
(the Bible too,
the Qur’an somewhat differs)
After creating the universe
In five days;
On the sixth day:
God created Adam and Eve.
And then came the Sabbath.
Or can it be that
God then slid into permanent coma
And hence the screwed up world?
Al Qaeda created/inspired many groups:
Most of them are busy
Blowing up people and things …
But where is Osama?
Resting? Or in a permanent coma?
Frequently since 2001 headlines read:
“US attack kills Taliban in great numbers” or
“Pakistan hands over Al Qaeda members to US”
Subsequently, often it is acknowledged:
Many of these were/are innocent civilians!
Notwithstanding the innocents,
The sheer numbers murdered should account for
Total number of Muslim militants …
Many times over.
So what is the true reality?
The recent bombings in Pakistan show
A proliferation of militants
How is that possible, given so many proclaimed deaths?
Do they multiply before dying,
Or are the US/Pak leaders lying?
Or is it …
New militants are born from the US bombs
and are propagating like vermin?
