Analysis of Where Are God's Children?
We pray to Jah, Allah,
Buddha and Mohammed;
From Jerusalem
To Capitol and Parliament Hill;
Still the distance between defies us.
Light years from here to eternity,
Peace eludes, hatred prevails.
October thirty-one, Two Thousand and One--
Hallowe'en, Hallow'ed be Thy Name,
Amen, Ahmed.
