Their God

Their God

Their God allows outrageous things
to poke and prod their hopeful hearts,
and thrash at their too delicate wings.

Their God allows they name their sins
mistake, and lets them on their way             I thought maybe "mistake" just needs to be "mistakes"
with their anecdotes in their coffee tins.

Their God allows our terrorist
imaginations to exist
like we're newborns stupidly making a fist.

Their God allows outrageous things.

I didn't see this as singling out particular religions, but I can understand how it could be interpreted that way.  I guess "God" singular implies monotheistic ones.  I really like the comparison of terrorist and baby fist in stanza three, but it doesn't read as smoothly as the first two, as others have said.  Terrorist makes it tough to come up with alternatives though.  If indeed it's alluding to religious fanaticism, then maybe some other word, like "martyr" could be employed as well or instead.

Anyway, it's an interesting read.  Really love the "coffee tins" line.
