tens of thousands of Afghans flee
by often desperate measures,
detained, assaulted, murdered,
martyred
faithless and in fetters.
school girls in Uganda know
they many never have a wedding
when terror rapes
the peace they sow,
punished by beheading.
Chinese mosques, temples, homes
are dismantled brick by brick
for believing something higher than
the state or politic.
the glowing boxes in our hands
or hanging from our walls
manipulate the way we think
becoming passive thralls.
