No Laughing Matter~

Today, the infidels
have gone too far.
Only cowards would allow
this bloody madness,

Evil in the world
calls for complete faith
in Rightousness: Stand firm,
Teach people to uphold Scriptures.

Then, if winning the world over
is not working, it is time
to heed the call to become heroes.
Guns will help.

Holy War. Brothers
to the end. Together in heaven
where weapons and prayers
lead to life, after death.

Anne McCrady, 1-10-15

“No Laughing Matter” was prompted by the attacks on the satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo, in Paris.
