Sydney Siege






Troiku

i give permission
for every sydneysider
to cry today

for this slow rain
to soak away the blood
of the innocent

the violet beds
have been contaminated
by the religion of peace

Quran (9:30) - 
And the Jews say Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say the Messiah is the son of Allah;
these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the same of those who disbelieved before; 
may Allah destroy them.

we will never
be intimidated
by this hatred



Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord
And may perpetual light shine upon them
Katrina Dawson and Tory Johnson
Requiescant in pace
Amen


********************


I give permission
For this slow rain to soak
the violets beds

  6. We are all children of God, especially Tori and Katrina and all those Islamic children murdered by their own in Pakistan. Every innocent death disproves every word that is uttered in hate by these extremists.
