The Killing Fields

By Sithanthi Alfred

Modern day Slayer

Has ordered the killing

Of children across the border!

Avenging the injustice

Meted out by the Pharaoh

Two thousand years ago!

Dangerously apathetic!

children shielding adults!

Would this ever change his heart?

Is the blood of children sweeter?

the scenes of children bombed

gratifying to his sweet senses?

He looks at his grandchildren,

safe future for you, my darlings!

Like the almighty God Himself!

Why avenge a legendary Pharaoh,

Rather than a recent Hitler,

Who ran trainloads of people into chambers, not stations?

This is a modern day hunter!

Seals the exit and bombs with pleasure,

Watch the targets run helter skelter!

Why use the Bible as a bomb,

When you can never become Moses or Jesus!

Testaments will survive, not your testimony!
