It’s the rise
Of the Islamic State
Otherwise known as
The Khalifate
Ya know, the people
Who’ve earned our hate
Which is closed to
Any kind of debate

It’s the rise
Of a radical theology
That is alien
To Western psychology
It’s something ingrained
As far as we can see
About a people
Not like you and me

It’s the rise of
Something that appeals
To young people
With different ideals
But intrinsically
What it reveals
Is the emptiness
A person feels

It’s the rise of
What we’re forgetting
About the advent of
Armageddon
Perhaps because
It’s upsetting
And may lead
To massive bedwetting
