Herbert Nehrlich - Would anyone....

Some time ago I posted it,
a poem critical of war,
a little boy named Mohammed
was caught up in the fighting.

This management, in one swift move
removed the poem, dumped it
apparently it was a slight
at one important name,
the leader of the Muslims bears
the title of Mohammed.
I hope I will not take in vain
the name of God and say it
or Jesus, there are many thousands
in Latin countries, by that name
does mentioning of Jesus then
mean disrespect to God's own son?


Note: Would anyone happen to have saved the
poem 'Mohammed'. I did not.
