Poems: Suicide-bomber; Hamas... & Deeper than the Beast

1) Suicide-bomber
((LAHORE, Pakistan)(Terrorism))


They do this clear-eyed, this is their game,
Though the whole world grows sick with fits of it
Such butcheries does man devise for man,
No conscious and no blood in the face.
Thus, out of Hell’s slime they climb
Thinking of Paradise—doing the bidding
For the abyss, a stench upon our days
And ways of life… a sign of the times!

2) Hamas,
No corsetry, no Defense (war 1-2009)


They took the sword of Mohammad
That shined, and serviced the right
But tarnished now, with bright blood
Of their own kind; from the streets of
Al-Attara, Gaza: planting explosives
To kill, or let be killed their people:
Perversely using civilians as human shields;
Putting snipers in positions in mosques,
All to glorify Allah, and honor their God;
Bombs by gas stations, booby-trapped
Civilian houses, all for show and tell…
To let the world think, they live in Hell.
Forgetting, who’s really the devil!

Note: I do believe we look for solutions for war and peace, yes; we like to start them, and win them, and yell peace, when we get tired of them. But war always continues if it serves a purpose; no matter if we want to believe it or not, this ongoing war with Palestine or Hamas, or the PLO, and Israel, it serves a purpose, maybe not yours or mine, but someone’s. And until the price to pay is not worth war, it will continue. On another note, Satan, like God, uses who is usable, and available, thus, we can take it from there.


3) Deeper than the Beast

What monsters of mythological dens are we?
Can we match the horror of the Huns?
Or the Roman Legions?
The heated blood coagulates, makes man insane
Leaps out of his senses, goes furious, as if in an outrage:
By what they do, it would seem to me,
We are deeper than the beast!
And now seek to eat, the reptiles while they sleep.
