In the Voice of the Baby of the San Bernardino Killers

Mom and Dad

Wherever You Both Are Now 

Maybe In a Bad Place

After You Killed the Innocent

oooo

You Left Me With Grandma 

Who Awaited Your Joyous Return

To Pick Me Up, Change Me

And Feed Me

oooo

But You Never Did

Only Your Images

On the Somber TV

When You Moved Among the Living

oooo

Why Did You Do It?

All That San Bernardino Killing

Of Moms and Dads

Whose Families Are In Mourning

oooo

Your Names Are Deceptive

For Rizwan Means God's Blessing

And Malik Is One Name

For God Almighty

oooo

Neither Malik Nor Rizwan

Shall Be On Your Side

Especially That Farook

Means Separating Right From Wrong

oooo

These Are Muslim Names

Intended To Glorify

The Oneness of God

Whom You Have Grossly Deceived

oooo

I See All Those Faces

Whose Bodies are Lifeless

Cause You Acted As Life-Enders

While We Worship Life-Givers

oooo

Life-Givers Like Robert, Bennetta

Aurora, Sierra, and Shannon

And Daniel, Damian, and Tin

And Nicholas, Yvette and Michel

oooo

They Trusted You, Your Co-Workers

As Did America, the Giver,

Treated You As All Others

Your Faith Was No Problem

oooo

Where is Pakistan

And Where Is Saudi Arabia

I Only Know The USA

As My Birthplace, My Birthright

oooo

My Home Where When I Grow

I Can Be Equal To Men

I Can Learn and Endear

All Others Under Our Flag

oooo

Now With Your Victims Gone

To A Place Better Than Yours

I Am Here Left Behind

Baring The Shame of Being Yours

oooo

Of What Can I Be Proud

With Whom Shall I Play

Your Pictures Are Not Glorified

Your Faith is Tainted

oooo

Those Flowers, Those Candles

Those Moans Of The Injured

Those Vigils Are But Cursing You

And Blurring My Future

oooo

I Did Nothing Except Being Born

To Parents With a Pact

A Pact With Those Far Away

From The Sacred Bond of Mercy

oooo

Your ISIS, Your Bullets

Your Guns, Your Grenades

Have Taken Over My Space

Space of Toys, Love and Light

oooo

How Dark It Is To Peer

Into A Future I Don't Know

Filled Of Fog and Doubt

About Whatever Follows Thereafter

oooo

On Your Epitaph, 

What Shall I Place

Your Inscription On A Tomb

Would It Be Like A Curse

Of All Jihadis Like You

oooo

And What Should I Be Called

The Unloved Issue Of Killers 

Who Turned Their Blooded Backs

On Those Who Gave Them Life
