PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

with cryptic elegance
they conspire
if not for the utter depravity
of their plans
one could almost become
horrifyingly impressed
by the focus and shear
dedication they personally
adhere to
for their religiously charged
murder and mayhem
under the right conditions
and with the guidance of
of great love
devoid of any personal ego
for all of God's people
and not just a warped and
weaponized Jihad against
those who believe but do
so differently
such warriors to serve
could have lived, fought and
died
being ever revered by
a vast swath in the world
and not just their extremist
peers
for protecting those of any
faith
who truly loved God and
wanted only peace
among nations
like in the long ago great
crusades
they were bloody, they were
brutal but deep down
both sides fought with
love for God and home
in their heart
we read about those why still
even today
and they are fondly romanticized
rightfully or wrongfully so
the brutality and the stench of such
wars was long ago left behind
in the mind's memory
yet with their weapons and wiles
today to inflict wounds and death
with but the force of their hatred
they only manage to defile themselves
further
as they wage unjust torture and
mutilation
on people who were never truly
anyone's enemy
women, children, the elderly and the
defenseless
all but the fragile faceless brothers
and sisters of men
as Jesus himself said on the cross
in his final moments
I must reiterate too
'Forgive Them Father For They know
Not What They Do!'...............
