A man from Yasrab I heard
When stoned by people.
Bleeding all from head to toe,
Tortured in streets he cried:
“God! God! Forgive them
For they know not what they do.”
A man from Bethlehem I heard,
When crowned with sharp thorns,
Bleeding all from head to toe.
Nailed to the stake he cried:
“God! God! Forgive them
For they know not what they do.”
And people around the world, I saw,
In the name of those two great men,
Killed innocents all around,
Laughing at corpses and shouting:
“God! God! Forgive them not
For they were the nonbelievers.
