Funeral Pyre

Funeral Pyre

Sadam's
death sentence,
justice for all,
or new tinder for Jihad?
On his pyre I'll place Hell's Bank Notes
though the sparks and ash of joss paper may kindle the world aflame.


Author's Note:Hell's Bank Notes are money printed on joss paper used in Buddhist and Japanese ceremonies honoring departed loved ones.
