Lauding Terror

In brief, what are the verities but a
movable feast viewed through the lens
of faith and ideology, the merest mist
of wavering the signature of the
uncommitted those who move
effortlessly between love and hate
and in their subconscious hate is
inextricably linked with faith when its
raison d'etre extolls the extermination
of those whose differentiated verity
fails to align and the veneer of civilization
slips, revealing the savagery of morbid
hostility rewarding the deaths of
innocents with promises of glory
where the exploits of slaughter are
feted and the death-deliverers become
celebrated, renowned role models
in an ancient ritual that speaks to
the hordes as a hallowed obligation.
