Which way?



Theological Questions Not Addressed
by Bill Moyers' Clerical Guests 
on His Wednesday Night
Program


Rabbi, priest, imam, and pastor
Speak solemnly of the disaster.
They say
That they agree on "God",
And they do not tell
Whether the terrorists
Went to Moslem heaven
Or to Christian hell.
Or which way
God sent
The crew of the Enola Gay.

Today the terror in Boston crowds out the trauma in Texas. Tragedy seems to grip  most tightly when animated by a moral pulse.  Is that right, Mom?
