Peace Broke Out

Peace broke out in The Middle East,

more or less: they have stopped shooting.

Famous religions headquartered there

are trying to process the news.

If possible it will be undone.

This was, after all, quite unexpected,

despite being worked for for months.

But surprise is only part of the problem.

More serious by far is the matter of enemies:

If you don’t kill them they’ll still be around.

The obvious solution is murder.

So when this news hit like a slap in the face,

or a kick in the ass and a punch in the guts,

people were bound to confront God and ask:

What in Hell is the meaning of this?
