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
