Conceived by 'Powers that be'
Creating war against a concept
Face enemy veiled in ambiguity
Excused murder without precept
Clerics invoke their vengeful lord
To help defend beleaguered lands
Preach hatred to a vulnerable horde
Now body parts litter times' sands
Junta rounding up and killing monks
Bent on stomping out all that’s good
Recruiting children and street punks
Taught to murder, before adulthood
What thoughts live in troubled minds
Chaos, murder, self-destruction?
Darkened hearts is what you’ll find
A Nation in midst of deconstruction
Exaggerating infirmity to be saved from fate
Shored up in the deaths of a political state
Tragedy that leads to murder
Murder that leads to hate
And the pumpkinification of histories late
Cognomens in the princeps Apotheosis
The zealous census is concept osmosis
In the silver age of Arab literature
When they savored the savior of a plotters sculpture
That featured scripture torturing heresy
Like a Pisonian conspiracy
With a freed heroine slave
They were betrayed
Ordered for self-destruction
Like spontaneous combustion
Itching to push the button
