I went home last night and thought about what had just happened, I turned on my computer and started typing this is what I came up with. It contains Quotes from the Bible and the Qur'an.

“Justice”
12:01 a time beneath time,
Closed to the Fields,
The flowers, to God.
His life, for theirs.
Or ours?
Should it have been him?
Could have been me,
Could have been you,
Should have,
Neither.
Once again the fields
Have been reaped.
What was once,
Is lost forever.
An artist,
An architect,
A father,
A son,
The Son.
So much has been taken
Must more also?
For God it must be.
“Forgive them Father
For they know not
What they do.”
Who is crying?
Should it be I?
Should it be you?
“Not one sparrow falls
To the ground without
Your Father knowing.”
“Life for life,
Eye for eye,
Tooth for tooth.”
“But if they repent
And establish worship
And pay the poor-due,
Then they are your brethren in religion.”
“They are not equal in the eyes of Allah.
Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.”
Life?
Death?
Between?
Where are the lines?
