The Serpent

The serpent's evil doctrine he'd tried to inflict Tore peaceful communities assunder; causing conflict The ghost soldiers would come in the dead of night Taking on the evil serpent with firepower and might. They would infiltrate the serpent's lair and be in disguise And unleash hit and run tactics with the element of surprise This enraged the serpent who put a price on their head And he would pray to his god of evil; wishing them all dead. It was in the Middle East that the serpent came to light Waged a killing spree thinking it was his god given right All the ghost soldiers' had to do was follow the trail of the dead Then corner the evil serpent and cut off its head. Offsprings of the serpent are now starting to nourish But our civilised world must ensure they don't flourish All nations must come together and stop this pure evil And stop innocent people from suffering unnecessary upheaval. Our world would live in fear but for the ghost soldier's sacrifice But to rid the world from evil someone pays a heavy price Some of these ghost soldiers paid with their lives And would do it again to ensure; evil no longer thrives. Written 24th February 2020. Dedicated to the special forces of many nations who waged a behind the scenes war on ISIS in the Middle East. Their covert missions' helped bring about the end of the self proclaimed caliphate and freed many people who were slaves' to ISIS. The caliphate is no more but the behind the scenes war continues to this day.
