Death In the Name of God
Starry eye moon
Away with your beam
And learn the stride of time
Cast mournful shadows
Upon blood soaked sand
And bid the cheering stars same,
Tonight, there will be no
Story telling nor moon kissing
For no giggling maidens
To jest the flutist call
Only sad hissing to death's long haul!
If you must stay, i pray
Dim thy light to water grief
And hide your smile
Behind panned night.
Listen as creaking wail
Beget sad clapping,
Then shall I tell thee
A tale of hate,
Of minors killed in heaven's name.
To the morning
A tray of desecrated banquet is set
Bald headed birds arose
To sumptuous feast
And gnawing claws
To shredded meats
Once limbs to tender breeds
Blood rinsed from promising dreams.
Brought to the end
By the sword that kills
In the name of God...
But which god?
Starry eye moon away with your beam!
