Magic of the 100th name of God

malaysiakini published my poem – with the news portal titling it In the name of God ;-) just KTemoc's little indulgence.

Once
I had a hundred names
with only 99 known.
Trust Isis and her wiles,
yes, a woman
and a lovely one too,
to pry the 100th out of me.
Devious!

Amazed!
I now have a new one but
minus an 'L' as if that
would mean someone else,
like Odin, Manitou, Zeus,
rather than ole me, you
know who, don't you?
I

Hey
I call out to them, they
in the red and blue corners.
The names' the same, it's all mine
of course, whose did you think?
Butt out, sneered one;
Yes, the other concurred;
Scat!

Huh?
But they're all mine, those
names you're fighting over.
So what, did you patent them
like mapped gerome of langsat
and petai for exclusive use?
No? Then, buzz off!
Goodbye

But
Why fight over my names
when I am the same Bloke
for all of you guys and gals?
Hellooooo, didn't we say
to butt out of our turf wars,
on exclusive use of THE name.
Understand?

Isis!
Only she knew my 100th name
that bestows the most powerful
magic on those who know.
She was privy to my secret (100th)
name called Compassion, sometimes
known as, would you believe,
Love!

I’ve published it as well over at KTemoc Komposes.

God and the letter 'L'

Over at BolehTalk, I’ve posted Walking on waters of ignorance which discusses ridiculous hair-splitting nonsense over the name of God, even to the extent of the English spelling of ‘Alah’ (only one ‘L’) versus ‘Allah’ (2 x ‘L’s), as if one letter of the English alphabet woudl make the difference between the right of non-Muslims to use God’s name or not.
