marching cadavers
inconsequential consequences
of another’s lust and greed
stapled medals, a rosary for the cordoned
starving for successful failure
backpack messiahs
blinded by visions of paradise
unwashed feet caked in mud
a warrior psychosis
sold to souls
from
saladin’s blood
on lionheart’s sword
to bush’s head
on bin laden’s pole
crustacean crusade on overfed donkeys
a jism jihad on blurred video
an olive branch
an oxygen mask
a trident missile attack
purveyors of putrefaction
assinine dumb waiters
drunk on faith
fatah hamas hezbollah
idf scientologist taliban christianvoice
how many more christs
until we are all crucified?
