The Prophecy

From the crucible of an ancient
ideology fashioned as a religion
to capture the abiding faith of those
longing for a rationale to existence
came the spark to fire hatred in the
minds and hearts of its followers
exhorted to the divinely inspired
passion to share what they believe
with the world, and those unwilling
to be indoctrinated sufficiently evil
to surrender their right to life and
liberty, for neither life nor liberty
can be assigned to those prepared to
spurn the invitation to enter the land
of peace, preferring to remain within
the land of war, a dystopian reversal
of logic explicable among those for
whom rationality has no place in
faith inspired by the heavens above.
Within the covenant those who are
faithful are inspired to love death, to
themselves seek it so they may enjoy
an after-life of leisure and pleasure
before which they must be worthy 
of its attainment by offering death to
others, both of their kind and from
among those who choose not be as
they are. These words and these very
thoughts result as a parable inspired 
by the intensely thoughtful pen of 
an insightful writer named Orwell.
