Mosque Feelings Can't Be Masked
Posted: September 12, 2010
Coming to terms with an emotional issue…
That's holy ground where towers fell
where hate-inspired infidels
inflicted wounds upon our land
that never will quite heal.
Ground Zero we have called that space
where terror showed its ugly face
and still haunts blocks where offices
have yet to be rebuilt.
Within this graveyard of great grief
we're called to exercise belief
that evil will in time give way
to good and love and peace.
But what of plans to build a mosque?
Do those who want it know the cost?
The price tag of religious rights
is far more than they think.
