If we are all Charlie Hebdo
Then we are all Muslims too
For Obama to condemn these murders
While his drones blast Afghan shepherds to
hell and back
Is hypocrisy rank and dark
For Netanyahu to cast the first stone
While his savage army slaughters
pebble-throwing children
And bombs schools with white phosphorus
Is duplicity twisted and black
State terrorism stinks as grossly
As the freelance variety
This despicable butchery
Has nothing to do with Islam
And was designed to spark a backlash against Muslims
themselves
The very same day
Three grenades hit a mosque in Le Mans
A Muslim family driving their car were fired
on
An explosion blew out the windows of a shop
next door to a mosque
The booted thugs of the Front National
Will spread their poison in the wake of these
murders
And the forces of the state will clamp down
On the jobless youth of the banlieues
We must not let innocent Muslims
Suffer for the acts of sectarians
Because an eye for an eye makes the whole
world blind
We cannot let racists and bigots divide us
For there is no race but the human race
And we need unity now like never before
And if we are all Charlie Hebdo
Then in truth we are all Muslims too
