Angels of Death
by Susan Donahue
Death descended on wings of steel
Piercing the morning sky.
Crescent, star and hearts of zeal,
Said innocents must die!
Martyrs to the vicious lie,
In scriptures writ in gall,
Evil angels of death did cry,
We sacrifice them all!
Why does freedom so offend you,
And liberty enrage?
The same God of Christian and Jew,
Granted Muhammad's age.
What perversion of faith inspired,
Or even asked of you
What no God ever required
His faithful servants do?
Show me, in this world or the next,
Where any God on high
Decreed in holy book or text
That anyone must die?
