Utopia Through Fire and Brimstone


Belatedly, you may have come to the final

realization that given your lengthy years

of experience you have become an astute

judge of character for you recognize in this

soulful man character writ large in the sense

of his humanity, his vulnerability imagining

goodness in everyone, faithful to his religious

devotion, believing its absolute infallibility

as a funnel through which humankind is to

be poured sieving out and discarding human fault

to emerge pure and fully invested in love for

others and when the world is wholly comprised

of those whose transformation has been complete

no more will strife arise, mutual devotion to

the well-being of all will reign supreme, under

the protective canopy of the sublime religion

in whose values he has been steeped since

childhood. A religion perforce that threatens all

those resistant to its orbit of supreme influence

and which tasks its faithful to the martyrdom 

inherent in sending the defiant to the realm

overseen by the Angel of Death to fully achieve

jihad's conquest. Blithe assurance and kindness

proffered to those he reaches out to suddenly

shattered when confronted by hostility to his

beloved trust in the absolute. Within yourself

you weep for his forlorn desolation, attempting

to console while refraining from condoning his

assumptions in hope he will survive to mature.
