The reasonable voice of the appeaser

carried no threat, no ultimatum to its target

holding children, women and men hostage

after a malevolent spree of rape and murder

in its message that it would be very much

appreciated if their victimized hostages were

freed from their daily torment in the hands

of those for whom hatred seeped from their

very pores becoming their reason to exist.

That appeal to reason and humanity was lost

in a bleak fog of alienated savagery impervious

to contrition for sadistic mutilation and slaughter.

Extending the civility of mollifying empathy

even to the cynics of civilizational mores 

failed to affect the disaffected. Unlike the more

assertively threatening tone of a pragmatic

leader whose coarse language engaged no

rebuttals, unwilling to cajole or placate a

deadly menace to international law and order

warning non-compliance has its costs and in

this particular case, they would be terrible.
