Almodad Synagogue Sadness
Deadly fissures of division ... tolerance of others’
different faith gathering space
is divided by hate
Almodad synagogue sadness
is the latest menorah light
extinguished by ancient dust clouds
A shifting sky of perpetual, roiling anger ...
thundering cataclysmic crypt loud
Dark tone bark dogma:
Shogun pacifist lies ... Amalekite cursed voices
in stealth mode disguise —
Cold metal lungs
spitting blazing darts
smoking barrel hot
Pour the molten rain
in scattering patterns of
premature burial pain
Smear the bloodstain moans
in varying degrees of
splattered morbidity groans
Ada-dah synagogue sadness
was the previous generation yarmulke cry
buried in the gas clouds
Philistine pagan pyre
burning Babel tower fire
fan the cantor wails high
Peleg and Joktan echoes
heard in divided sections of terror grief
Domestic violence done
Ellis Island openly,
with primal intensity of hateful glee
Adullamite
Synagogue
Sadness
Balaam’s brAss bullet bray tale
that the next mass murder massacre
double pump up the gun sells
Sorrowful Beth-el temple arias pray tell
that the kinetic swords get melted into plowshares
Barrel pride be a rejected revolver shell
Righteous tears knowing full well
that God will swiftly give a just reward
to the ricochet rebels, hateful holster burros —
Those who put their soul up for sale,
and bought a killer ammo treasure trove
The crown jewel caliber trinket
is a rusty trigger ticket,
to get onboard a bullet train to hell
