God and a drop of oil is one of Charbel Baini's books translated by Maha Bechara

MYTHS

 -1-

They want me to believe,

The story of Adam and Eve.

But who searches and scrutinises,

In the trueness of this story,

Which played with the human mind,

Will not ask God to have mercy

Upon their dead.

-2-

They want me to say:

"Moses opened the sea

And let people...

Chickens and calves go across,

And saved his people from Pharaoh.

I'm begging You my God...

The monitor of this world,

Why did You create some people

With small brains?!...

They always think that You are an oppressor,

And that You hold a sword of fire,

To kill all kinds of people on earth

Except the chosen people.

-3-

They want me to go and tell

The story of the dragon

Who kept on killing women

Till You sent the best Knight.

But why was he only killing women?!...

O God ...

That is the secret of this lie.

-4-

If I only have patience to count

The Myths that we are following,

In between serio-comic...

You will block Your ears my God

And You will say to Yourself:

It is a shame for the Faithful

To believe in Myths.
