In the poem 16 Iraqi Policemen, the speaker tries to find normalcy in the chaos that surrounds him after the explosion. He describes how the blood of the men forms art - forms like mustaches and rings - because he is trying to relate what he is seeing for the first time to something he already knows. This is natural for most people, because to be shocked by something is so jarring that their brains attempt to take what they are seeing and turn it into something they have seen before.
He also talks about Allah, his god. As most people would, he doesn't ask the question of, "Why didn't Allah stop this?" or "If there is an Allah, why would this happen?" Instead, he assumes that Allah is there with him, experiencing this in the same way that he is, and also questioning how people can be so cruel and how something like this could happen. He thinks that Allah wants to help everyone that he sees, like he does, but he doesn't know who to choose or where to go first, because there is so much pain and suffering going on in one small area.
Good observation. When people try to relate God to suffering, they will mostly question why, if God exists, would he allow this to happen. Here, a different approach is made. It´s a great sign of humility to recognize that the only ones to blame for the pain and suffering caused here are the people themselves.
