Reid Baer is NO JIHAD recruiter but a poet who enjoys peaceful Persian things like this Mosaic poem:

My Marvelous Mosaic
By Reid Baer

My simple mind likes to quickly
identify with a single
piece – a colorful pebble – a
bright green stone – a small ceramic

tile I can call my own and then
call it quits and go directly
home but my collective psyche
won’t collaborate in such a

narrow scheme that eliminates
shapes and sizes and mandala-
like patterns illuminating
a vision of the many parts –

the tiles – the stones – from which a more
complete mosaic of reds - blues –
and blacks are at stake and the great
multitude of terracotta

promises an integrated
picture into a floor – a grand
ceiling – a towering mountain
of uncompromising beauty!
