Obl

O.B.L You, baptised head of the snake Left numerous dead in your wake With deadly order, resulting in murder Twisted beliefs, vomiting grief Your followers brainwashed Their humanity crushed Your force too strong Resulting in a bloody throng 9/11 your earthly heaven Mankind maimed and logic lame Prayers and deepfelt wailing Confess the outcry of your shaming Your slumber resulting in 7/7 Your journey now away from heaven The melting pot of anger brewing The world a stew of terrorism anew Your final hour televised this dawn The snake’s wisdom decapitated Jubilation, disbelief and buried grief Your body left writhing…yet Still a real, cunning threat…
