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 18th April 2019
