Analysis of Uneducating a Suicide Bomber



If heaven is a rest for the imbeciles,
the banes of hell my portion must be.
If cloud nine is a bordello,
and the streets of gold are carved along the red-light-district,
 then god must be a panderer.

Am I not already rewarded?
 My woman is: an orange, perfect in the sun;
 a watermelon, succulent;
a mango with sweet nectar;
 a passion fruit, freshly plucked.

One woman is ecstasy,
two is hell’s gate.
A saphead is a glutton for pure virgins.
 Lives foolishly forfeit for peculiar sayings.

Let not this bird fly,
for the two that is promised?
When god became a sexist,
it came to pass that man recreate himself, a lunatic,
and the woman he objectified became the dominant sex.

Covet not the splendor of paradise,
where the mansions in my father’s house are brothels
 perfumed with the scent of intercourse.
 A gift of seventy-two maidens
is an everlasting punishment.

Earle Francis Brown

I was born in Montego Bay, Jamaica. I was told that I can write, so I wrote and continues to write. I am currently living in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. I enjoy reading "real" poetry. My favorite books are the Pslams, Proverbs and Songs of Solomon.Poetry is not just vocabulary, and use of metaphors and formats. Don't be tricked. Poetry should speak life. I love a poem that tells a story. The most memorable poems are the ones that tell someone's story. I don't care about ratings; the truth is always hated. People are people where-ever we go. more…
