The God Of Small Things

Hating humour
Or humouring hate
Caught in a bind.

The problem with People of the Book is
They haven't updated the edition
And the older one is out of print
Leaving half-understood photocopies in its wake.

The poor
And the marginalised
Have a greater right
To take offence
The new Charlie Hebdo discourse.

Class
Caste
Creed
All breed
Hate
Is it too late
For love ?

If God were a little more reasonable
And reason a little less profane
Most of us would lead a life
Generally happy, and mostly sane.

My God
Your God
His God
Her God
Our God
Their God
PBUH (Peace be upon Him)

If one is hurt
Or if one wants to avenge
All one needs to do
Is draw a likeness in revenge.
