#caliph
Grown my beard long enough, time, now, to announce to the world, the demands of the new Caliph: First a rider on raiment - of black be your fashion. Then, in the name of the Lord the most merciful, We demand razors! Yeah we need more of them - for shaving our underarms and other sacred duties outlined below. We demand brides! We can knock at your censured doors at night: for faithful brides and infidel ****** for pleasure. In the name of the Lord, most merciful, Madam, may I ask, is your modesty circumcised? In the name of the Lord, most merciful, Can we have more watches please? But mannequins, they must be covered. And when we huddle the infidels in trenches or behead your sons please, we do so in but peace!

Watches for the Caliph
The hollow I am, habit, cowl of the sky, hand Of the holy, mouth of the most high witnessed all The bloodshed of the children He should love. A bullet To the infidel set to flight, bore the dove. I Don’t know what it was that inside me died, at the Sermon in the woods, they were preaching in the dirt It was faith in silence made the good man convert. Bore the holy cross, they would bear the holy sword Those defamers of His name, smoking sacred an Offer to Adonai, the poor lamb they had lamed. Christ wept, held his face littered by the holy man ‘Till he disappeared from vision became just an Ordinary man, to walk in the valley of death. I took from my shoulders the weight of debts past on. Centeries’ share of ghosts of the ****** lived and died Like this iconoclast and I blazed on that path, Now penitent for everyman for all the love That he may bring is surely shame to everything, And to all by it abide. I shall revere no Holy man nor the love he cast aside nor He Who allowed the righteous to bear His name in vain.
