Death's Ghouls

The vicious menace that is terror is
determined to impress upon the aghast
world that Islam's conquest is their
dedicated imperative and there is no
escape from their grasp as they reach
their tentacles of sacred commission
to the faithful, helpfully established now
in every geographical place on the planet
to recruit the willing in the achievement
of their world order consecrated to the
Prophet's admonition and expectation
that fealty to the faith impels jihad.
The world is now impressed with the
spectre of violent death making its
entrance wherever the innocent congregate
where tourists are tempted to visit, where
populations seek pleasure, where the
wary live their lives no longer with
the complacency of the past but with the
acceptance of an odious reality that now
targets men, woman and children
wherever they happen to be engaged in
life, to introduce them peremptorily to
an afterlife denied, held in escrow for
the honoured warriors of Islamic jihad.
From Israel to Britain, the United States
to Italy, Sweden to Germany, Australia
to Belgium, France to Nigeria, Egypt
to Spain, civilization is under lethal siege.
