ADVOCATES OF LIGHT

Soul-hunters

Head-reapers

Flesh-shredders

Bone-choppers

Curse-bearers

Chaos-seekers

Blood-thirsty scavengers

Look at your hands,

mindless barbarians,

at TERROR's demand

they do but slaughter

to seize more land.

This is how you expand!

Attired the same as saints,

brutes at heart,

who at EVIL's behest,

ravage and infest.

YOU SAVAGES!

Robed in black,

bathed in sin,

without the least of query,

you slay

lest, WE,

the 'faithless', shall prevail.

Sowing death and dread,

everywhere you go it's

but blight!

Such is pest.

Hoarding trophies of limbs

and skulls,

as you embark on your sanguinary quest.

You are but immersed

in fiendish reveries

of your 'heaven',

come your eternal rest.

You kill and bomb your way up

to where you solemnly swear

you shall go, first.

Such a contest!

Knowing none can undo the done,

we shall never hide,

wimp out

nor run.

With our faith coursing

hot and loud our veins,

braver and stronger

we shall rise to collect the gains.

''ALL FOR PEACE, and

PEACE FOR ALL'',

hear us shout.

Such is our WAR-CRY.

Watch out!

We're coming up,

life in hands and

heads held high.

RIGHT is our ally.

You shall recede,

as we unite

and aim without cease

to defeat

all that you deify.

Your twisted version

of our PEACEFUL RELIGION

shan't never again see the light

as long as WE,

THE ADVOCATES OF LIGHT

are on mission.

A suicide bomber's aspirations; ludicrous follies.

THE CALL OF SIRENS

He was promised 'an eternity'

amidst the fairest of fairies,

whom no creature has ever seen.

''Hear them calling...

Your sirens,

fiery and ripen'd,

have been

forever waiting.''

''O beloved,

ain't you coming?''

What shall I pay?

For HERE is such an abhorrent stay,

Try as may,

THIS I cannot bear,

tell me not to stay.

What's the trick?

''TICTAC, TICKTOCK,

listen!

That's your ticking golden

ticket.

Come and get it,

Now!

Run brother, run!

You're but a trigger away from heaven.

In a trice,

you shall join your brethern.''

BOOM...

A BLAST!

Once a killer,

twice a victim,

he, at last,

met his doom.
