An Eye Sees Eyesores

Born in a perennial sand storm Baddies tweet humble extremism The dove of peace shot down The white flag glowing crimson The sand blinds red eyes to the truth Chronically digging for the anointed oil beneath To evoke spirituality atop a sharp spear To mimic the men in drench coats we fear Compassion as desolate as their desert home As black and volatile as crude oil aflame Void of love, confusion like blank dice Bitter as coarse salt in the Dead sea Thirsty for knowledge in the sandy ice Zigzagging targets like tearful bull’s eye Wink on a weaponised Quran Chaos high on a flipped brain An agenda dripping bloody ink Advancing like an armoured tank The landscape flattened to Arabia The exorcist resurrected Hitler And his offspring seek to avenge Father and farther into the stone age
