Marveling at the mystery
of histories sardonic wit.
Six thousand years of
man’s inhumanity to
man chiseled in our
sacred Book for all
to see.
The face we show
the world a dark
mask better left in
shadow far away
from integrity's
flickering glow.
The three great
beasts that sprang
from Abraham’s
seed locked in
mortal combat
while the lion
eagerly waits
to devour the
carnage.
