Living under His flag
and blowing His flag
over the world is not enough

White or green letters
are not enough, in red
they must be written –

in your heart, so much greater
than words is His Power
greater than the greatest

country, greater than faithless prayers
and skyscrapers of mirror skin
that collapse and shatter

Oh devilish trap
of reciprocity
pride for pride

to think to be His servants
and to share in the Greatness
that surpasses everyone
– 2001, “Nine Eleven”
– See the flags of Afghanistan, Iran en Iraq
– Twice 11 times “Allahu Akbar” (“God is Greater”) on the flag of Iran
– The Twin Towers as number 11
– New York City counts 11 letters
