Nuclear Annihilation
Atomic Radiation
Eroding Nation
Sighing in relief
As it welcomes Armageddon
Holy Night
No-Fly Zone
Somalian Bones
Palestinians Stoned
Indians Alone
And hear the cries of the Natives
As they perish in the hive of the WASP
All is Calm
L.A. Riot
Jury Quiet
Media Diet
Suicidal Pilot
That ignites the blazing inferno
destroying everything in its path
All is Bright
Unfathomed Illiteracy
Racial Bigamy
Sexual Indiscriminancy
Government Secrecy
Obscuring the views of its toy soldiers
As they ride off into the darkness of the dawn
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Duke of Sales
Mendacious Tales
Polluted Wells
Permeating Smells
Choke the smiles of innocent consumers
Who unsuspectedly greet the silent killers
Holy Infant so Tender and Mild
Menacing AIDS
Asexual Plays
Incestual Gaze
Abortive Phase
Choosing the rights of another
with the forked blade of justice
Sleep in Heavenly Peace
Capital Commercialism
Papal Conservatism
Pseudo Heroism
Secular Humanism
Is the road not taken
by the mainstream of this mediocracy
Sleep in Heavenly Peace
Clean Slate
Too Late
Dismal Fate
666 Hate
The numbers of salvation
And the last uttered of the silent night.
--Karim A. Ali
