Most Wanted


Warning: God has slipped the noose
We must confirm the worst
Of our righteous fears
God has escaped the mosque
Where we?ve locked him up for years
We repeat unto you:
God is on the loose
He could be anywhere
There is no telling anymore
He is no longer the guarantor
Of this people or that faith
Henceforth beware:
You may find him in heathen beauty
Take appropriate measures:
You may have to behave
as though each human being
could reflect his Face
