Of Suffering

Somewhere black clouds of smoke billowing
It seems the nest of wickedness is in flames
Mobs strip women, penetrate them with their knives
Starving fathers murder their brood
For the meat
Brutal campaign of mutilation
Abducted and slain
Clerics reflect the fury
Staining blood to the streets
Terror cloaked by religion
Kill in god’s name
Only death is lurking, creeping sickness awaits
Do you wonder why god loves them?
Do you know they take no blame?
The way they lie bears no guilt
Hand in hand in all
Who will win the war? in god’s name
