Refrigerator Magnets
Hosni al-Assad and Bashar Mubarak.
Hamid al-Maliki and Nouri Karzai.
Mahmoud Haniyeh and Ismail Abbas.
Abdullah bin Suleiman and Michel Adbul Aziz.
Mahmoud Netanyahu and Binyamin Ahmadinejad.
Ali Abdullah Said al Said and Qaboos bin Saleh.
Barack bin Laden and Osama Hussein Obama.
Imagine if these leaders were reconstituted —
Refrigerator magnets in destiny's kitchen —
Shifted repeatedly, by curious fates,
Until their permutations were exhausted.
What would be the consequences?
God in three persons (Allah, YHWH, and Jesus)
Or the devil in fourteen megalomaniacal messiahs?
