Slaughter the Innocent Children

Let’s scrape away those Palestinian Muslim Arab scums To rightly make room for the Jews, God’s chosen ones. In the name of God, King and Country, always to trust, To slaughter the innocent children, too die if they must. No lessons learnt, to follow 6 million corpses dust That satisfied past glorious Germanic murderous lust. In the name of God, King and Country, always to trust To slaughter the innocent children, too die if they must. Sword wielding followers of Mohammad, a Sunni Shia divide Bring destruction one to the other, so millions have died. In the name of God, King and Country, always to trust, To slaughter the innocent children, too die if they must. Be gone you Popeless protestant English bastard For us Fenians to see the will of Jesus be mastered. In the name of God, King and Country, always to trust, To slaughter the innocent children, too die if they must. If oil be the quest let war drums roll and bombs become rain. So onward Christian soldiers, to Iraq and away with Hussain. In the name of God, King and Country, always to trust, To slaughter the innocent children, too die if they must. Millions made homeless, endless suffering without pause. Civil war is the call, now Syrians fighting another hopeless cause. In the name of God, King and Country, always to trust, To slaughter the innocent children, too die if they must. And so to the future, a blond king is born, his war ships to sea Yet concern there must be: Does he even know his ABC? In the name of God, King and Country, always to trust, To slaughter the innocent children, too die if they must. There are lessons to learn, yet clearly history will show That none shall take heed, even with nukes ready to throw. In the name of God, King and Country, always to trust, To slaughter the innocent children, too die if they must. Yet fear not; delight in frocked men’s promises of a life ever after. 72 virgins promised, though beware of other Godly men’s laughter. In the name of God, King and Country, always to trust, To slaughter the innocent children, too die if they must.

John Jurkowski, Your eloquent and commanding delivery of this story, your thoughts, inspired me to respond with mine, "Gods and Monsters", which obviously pales in comparison to yours, as I am a non-poet. Thank you for your friendship and for referring me onto this place of other worlds and minds. LLB
