Haiku Variations. Canaries in the coal mine.



Please faithful do not forget 

The honest Muslim gets hurt like us

In these ´civilised´ closing years


As clearly not every Muslim

Is a terrorist, as clearly is every

Anti-Semite a future murderer


If not killing in person

Then surely it is killing by proxy

To the right or left


For hating the wandering people

Is unfortunately not limited to the uneducated

Nor the poor or wealthy


It all starts with envy

Of mind, of having, of being excluded

Or of being not included


Is it ever a reason

When people think they should be exclusive

To hate or despise them


Is your self-esteem so minuscule

You need to either join or destroy

Your fight is with God



He walks with us wanderers

However humble, I Am on my side

A lost without a tribe


Bad on assets, yet rich

On letting go, overcoming greed and desire

A descendant of the true


These are the spiritually circumcised,

As in the flesh, they are assailing

Yet we, eternal, will prevail


We cross borders of religions

And should humanity require it, abandon traditions

Having faith in the Almighty


For traditions are of men

Where God holds true values in honour

Like truth, justice, compassion, atonement
