Blitz of terror,
Falling on world of man and woman,
Brute assault on humanity,
Nightmare of responsible leaders,
By men and women callous in main,
Who have no abode in heaven
Prompted by rogue ideology
Sponsored by men so demented
Bent on destroying our pretty world
Without twinge of compunction
Blood flows, souls wail in sudden transition
But hell will never hail…
Culture of terror,
Reigning in mind, air, everywhere,
Instilled vengeful spite and hate
Through radicalization, satanic indoctrination,
Perpetrated with passion for harm,
As suicide bombers, hijackers, kidnappers, armed robbers
On harmless soft targets … so cowardly
Avenging wrongs done or perceived,
As gunmen and bombmen
Crushing man and environment
With misguided terror,
Spreading anguish, pains, sorrow,
Confusion, fear, mayhem, wickedness
Breaking hopes, tearing life fiendishly,
Blood flows, souls wail, lives evaporate,
But hell will never hail …
Adieu!
