A Poem for the Daniel Pearl foundation's October Days

This is a poem I wrote for consideration by the Daniel Pearl Foundation. They are holding their October Days events next month. For more details check out their website here. I hope the poem moves you (I just decided to share it here - was originally sent only to dear friends:

"To Life"
In Memory of Daniel Pearl



Faith
Shrouded in Hatred

Attacked Humanity.

God
Was Not There.

Only this Heart,
Alone

There was Fear,
An internal Fight

There was Pride,
Spoken of the streets of Jerusalem




There was No Defeat.

Only Death,
and Heaven


and Daniel
In The Heart Of God
