sinister concatenation pairs us
with surreal morgue aisle
broken lives rent asunder
from fanatics hell bent with bile
of poison spewing forth ********
up the moral compass dial
upending amity, comity,
excitability with ferocity,
hostility, indelibly, indubitably,
inexorably hissing illogic jabber
wocky justifiably linking extremist
deadly credos bred among western nations
indicting pursuit of life, liberty
and happiness wreaking deliberate havoc
awash with crimson tide of blood –
dead set to jam the life lock
viz Leviathan of personal freedoms
bespoken via vernacular,
where secular westerners
framed to mock,
where extremist storied devout
die hard believers dislike rock
and roll of altruism, capitalism,
liberalism, thus apply shell shock
tactics sans terroristic tactics
with bombs silently tick tock
inevitably heightening security
forcing ordinary citizens
to be on high alert
watchful even at slightest com
ment, perhaps even accidental curt
commentary invoking immediate
military forces swoop down and exert
overpowering force donned
with ammunition belt bristling girt
affecting innocence abroad and
native population to freeze
and become inert
casting dark silhouettes against
autumnal reign of light
where Mithraism plays out
with immensely brutal might
blotting out the radiance
of heavenly bliss affording active night
life to become shuttered
as cruel carnival masquerade
pits pagan plight
against the jagged
scrimmage line quite
arbitrarily drawn by maniacal foes
for freedom trammel the right
to own democratic stance –
for Jihadist Johnny come lately
find a slight
lampooned their sacred
Islamic catechism inducing tight
grip on Allah to fuel vengeance
for intimated transgressions
that doth in vite
which violent polemics purpose
fully shear the very fiber of peace
pronounced with especial
arduousness come holiday time
foisting a crease
along the fabric of westernization –
whereby founding fathers did grease
the figurative wheels of con
com it ant moist meaty lifestyle
to experience strangulation
from an invisible death knell lease.
