CREDO v. CREDO

I'm liquid mercurial bedlam,

An absence of strictures and scales,

I'm dust in the eyes of a Moslem

Who lives past the pier by the rails.

He threatens to kill me with kindness

And prays for me five times a day.

He says, "You're inflicted with blindness."

And hopes that his dogma will sway

My "Silly Judeo-Judeo,"

My "Lackluster Christian belief."

But still, if it's credo v. credo,

It's mine that will offer relief,

I'm sure,

It's mine that will offer relief.
