Baby let me be, Your lovin' teddy bear Put a chain around my neck, <br />And lead me anywhere. Oh let me be, Your teddy bear. <br /> <br />Ms. Gillian Gibbons are you nuts? <br />Did not a thought go in to your mind that you may die from this? <br />Salman Rushdie, Satanic Versus should I say, <br />Satanic Verses, was the one responsible, <br />For literally picking on the Koran, <br />The Jyllands-Posten, the Dutch Newspaper, <br />That published twelve cartoons about Mohammed, <br />That the Muslims considered reprehensible, <br />In Saudi Arabia a rape victim was given 20 lashes and jail time, <br />(see observation Whips and Chains) <br />There seems to be apparent paradox in the justice solution. <br />Ms. Gibbons what kind of a baboon are you? <br />Certainly you have read about new "Crusades", <br />Or have your eyes seen only blindness? <br />This morning on CNN the rioters in Sudan are calling for your execution, <br />The children were practicing what they were taught, <br />-in Islam there is love and kindness, <br />That's why they named the teddy bear Mohammed, <br />-so innocent but deadly. <br />You weren't born yesterday; <br />So how did you make it possible to get in to such a predicament? <br />The Sudanese are barbaric; <br />-they practice slavery and female genital mutilation, <br />The Darfur region has been plagued with famine and butchery, <br />Is this death wish you had or some meandering dream to gain attention? <br />So you think that you can say what you mean in this region? <br />It is not Liverpool nor Edinburgh or London, <br />You have taught in country that is paradoxical, <br />Sociological, economical, pathological enigma, <br />You had better get out and for England as soon as you can, <br />And leave the idea of naming anything Mohammed, <br />For fear being from any school, forever banned. <br /> <br />(11-30-2007)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-just-want-to-be-your-teddy-bear/
