Action

He’s in a bunker in his 
Head; outside the 
World is all but dead
Protect the cause at
Any cost; he holds his
Nerve, resolve embossed
What will happen when
It’s done? This deed that’s 
Good for everyone!
Sweat is pouring down
His chest; beneath the 
Semtex that’s been  
Blessed. Dazed with
Joy of things to come;
A greater world has just 
Begun! “God be 
Praised, he pressed
His thumb and boom
The blast took
 Everyone”.
