American Burqa

"American Burqa"

Drop the weapon
Shouted the law of violence
A life lesson
with no prize to be won

Mask of emotion
Soul left behind
Ideological abstraction
Consensually blind

Gasping for breath
Screams mummified
a fuel worse than meth
The dead and the glorified

Do you know who you are?
Identity crisis
Selfish lazy Kumar
Loathsome twisting ISIS

Guttural bestial struggles
Over oceans of eyeless sight
Compromise your principles
And you'll lose this fight
