Mecca's Cry: The Year of Sorrow ((from the 'Muhammad Papers')(Ltr. 9))

Letter IX

Mecca’s Cry: the Year of Sorrow

(As remembered from the mouth of Moss the Prophet))


His heart beat like the sea
his anger was as if he had bees in his mouth;
Mecca became a dead city
after he killed them all
(10,000-soldiers strong, he conquered
them, butchered, like hogs).
The flies had a feast…, for
they tore open their bellies like beasts!
Their heads severed, rolled off,
down the streets—;
they would not listen,
they would not stop
they simply killed and killed,
as if, in a death dance.
