Symptomatic Echoes

Whether you see it an affect of a local aberration 

or symptomatic echo resonating from hidden yet 

much larger conflagration, it’s fire and brimstone 

out there - fuelled actively by mouths of mullah’s 

whose motives are ‘pure’ as Qur’an’s citations - 

reading texts of obsolete events no less subject 

to interpretation; can silent majorities stand and 

correct jihadist views of what is true or right ?

There’s no easy answer where moderates ply a 

tortuous course between faith and unity - to fear 

judgement and its consequence in the hands of 

arms-bearing mujahideen risibly intent on ‘jihad’ 

seeking religious and moral perfection, says no 

choices remain beyond their abject silence 

Most atrocities committed on any day in this so-

called civilised World bear those marks we have 

come to perceive as endeavours ‘jihadis’ deem 

auspicious demonstrations of faith; in the event 

every death omnisciently demonstrates there’s 

no more room for more jaundiced applause
