The Ghouls of Death


Millions March to Honor General Soleimani

The ghouls of Death are on the march again

those who pledge themselves to the urgency

of plying their trade as messengers and martyrs 

for whom intimate relations with Death bespeaks 

their eagerness to sacrifice themselves as a gift to 

the Supreme Being prepared to welcome them to 

Paradise while counting their victims establishing 

ranking in the  hallowed halls of death-dealing 

for those who forswear the cause are doomed to die 

and theirs are the hands of delivery. Fury at the 

death of their commander spurs them to march in 

solidarity of their drive to conquer. Puzzling that 

they rage over such a death -- involuntary, the same 

methodology as their own to remove a threat to 

civilization, the leader piously inciting his followers 

to mass slaughter of infidels, when his death advances 

his own awarded journey to Paradise, the master 

martyr whose noble cause his dedicated followers

swear to mount in vengeance of his timely demise.
