There he sits alone and still
they think he talks to God
when his eyes are glazed and far away
he has them all fooled
again
He communes but not with God
his master is the fallen angel
who misleads all with lies
including this acolyte
Who now rises with a plan
time to sacrifice another man
or a woman, even child
matters not to him
the bomber
Whatever it takes to dole out
another dose of death and chaos
yet another case of hope's loss
sowed without discrimination
one blood as red as another
His inner self smiles with malice
for they call him
Mullah
another attempt at free verse
