orgy of blood letting bedlam of bestiality
like a ship having lost its moorings they run unhinged
incensed raving rabid burning butchering strangling and suffocating
falling upon an unwary traveler they punctured her layers of flesh
to rip open her unborn infant nestling deep in the oven
with glazed eyes and a gleeful grin
deranged scavengers relish the double death
like a locust swarm and a ranging inferno
devouring all in their wake cathedrals and minarets tumbling in their flames
putrid flesh streets strewn with mangled bodies charred cars beckon
assemblage of vultures poke human eyes
they seized him as a prized trophy
accosting the wayfarer they sing with gusto
lusting for his sacred blood leading him as a sheep to the slaughter slab
clubbed and dismembered his pleas only fuel their fury
chanting their slogans to a crescendo they offer the innocent blood
