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
