Osama Docudrama

Itinerant mercenary shrouded with penitent robe Shining beacon for terrorists around the globe Hermetic curmudgeon; gun-toting xenophobe Zealous provacateur who for ardent jihadists did probe Material wealth a means; establishing a caliphate the end Seeking Arab-royalty's, sovereign-sheikdoms to rend Scourge of terror to blight all that western values defend Sharia law to govern Middle East; Allah's dividend Great Satan's engine to throttle Region's fealty to bottle Suicide pilots struck the monuments we coddle Gratuitious shards and blood stains did the landscape mottle President Bush promised swift revenge Ordered Taliban to stop Osama's bloody binge Mullah Omar reneged; Bushes' saber rattling had a malodorous tinge U.S forces did the Taliban's quarters singe Alquaida's overseas operations are diminished But Alquaida's mission not finished Alquaida cells in Iraq, Afghanistan bravely battle, mettle distinguished Nevertheless, the infidel forces not extinguished   Gitmo detainees probed for information Trite torture brought about stunning reformation Stressed warrior's fealty to leader declined in isolated station Under duration, divulged details about Bin Laden's method of operation Osama's couriers cover blown Seeds for fruitful harvest are sown Courier's redoubt canvassed with satellite, drone Intelligence on compound, residents CIA did hone Calculated risk; Navy Seals in choppers did alight Flying quietly with fiery portents into the calm night Hoping the briny tentacles of terror to blight Cresting over the shadowy compound; objective in sight Down the dangling ladders vigilant Seals did repel Into the throes of darkness descending into the mouth of hell Perimeter defense, early warning signals were of no avail Osama's stunned tenants could only stand fast or bail Each obstacle, human shield the Seals did meticulously fell Carefully following the trail to the Holy Grail Entering Osama's room, rending the sacral veil The caged warrior with precision did shell Osama's dead body packed in a unmarked crate Transported vicariously to lab, identity to equate Identity confirmed; vigilant menace had met his fate Un-consecrated remains tossed into sea; watery tomb his final estate
