Ball and Chain
Hassan harbours hard-worn hardship in his heavy homeless heart
Drones dereliction devastation and dire disintegration of daring dreams
Dear daughter dead at dawn Delisiha demised dismembered decapitated
Harbingers of hell in heaven heaving with helter-skelter and hatred
Skinny skull surreal surrender to salvation and suffering’s solitude
His maimed mind meanders towards Mecca’ mid-morning mist
‘Mohammed my Master mould my misery to magic martyrdom’
‘Save seven sweet sexy sisters in the scope of sound sensual skies’
Balls brethren bequeathed by my baba for blasting those bastards
Ignorant infidels igniting incensed immeasurable invocation indeed
Bearing the bellicose burden and berated by birth belittled and bold
The courageous courier of comatose carnage carefully counts the cost
Captured in the Caliphate contorted in a crowded catacomb he cringes
Waterboarding washes over the waning warrior’s wasted wreckage
Hassan hopes helplessly for humerus and hips to heal in good humour
GI Graysen giggles and generates generous gifts of guts and glorious gore
Considerate Conclusions
Chains have cantankerous consequences
Brave balls from Baghdad bear the baton
Guts and gore guarantee Guantanamo
Victory is vile vindictive and vicious
