Sons of Earth, catastrophic times, <br />Vicious and twisted like a tornado <br />And blinded by some 'sacred book', <br />Planning destruction of the infidel, <br />The non-believer, the unfaithful, <br />Carry heaven and a harem of virgins <br />In anticipation, in mirage, <br />To holy war in frenzy <br />Like a kamikaze pilot in rage. <br /> <br />Menace framed, TV shrinks the globe <br />Of evil cast, before eyes jump in jackets <br />At the crack of guns and grenades. <br />Now, fire lights the heart <br />Where no heart is, the blaze of meteors <br />Burns the desert sands <br />And souls in dozens spiral in dust <br />In some senseless sacrifice, <br />To some senseless god, <br />Most Gracious, Most Merciful, Oft <br />Forgiving.... <br />Under God's bloodshot eye boils the blood.<br /><br />Robert Dummett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-love-no-light-no-logic/
