Decency

So Mahmoud, your number’s up; seems the 

rage for violence drums invalid metre - in an 

innocence too intermittent, we resonated in 

seeing your brand of sanctity as too ‘selfish’ 

to be in the interests of humanity - and then 

what’s new is we’ve backed our decree with 

guarantees we’ll hang you publicly in forums 

you claimed gave you sacred rights to kill all 

‘Unbelievers’; so, in the same sanctimonious 

rhetoric chanted by your brethren, we’ll now 

commit acts even Hell branded intransigent, 

demoting you to memories of a stupidity too 

‘bloodthirsty’ to let be; believers don’t maim 

or kill, they engender decency for change
