AN OPEN SECRET

A human life is not for you to take;
No, not even your foe's for your own sake.
Oppressors, tyrants, serial killers, all
Practitioners of homicide shall crawl,
Experience thereafter their victims' pain
Nine-fold and much more, again and again.
Souls should not be violently released;
Every quark and gluon of these deceased
Continually harass their murderers,
Returning injury to injurers.
Each action creates equal reaction;
Thus, tolerance yields better protection!

TRAVESTY (II.)

They sweat and groan, people of humble birth;
Reborn to learn and labor more on Earth.
At times, they vaguely recollect their past--
Vast landholdings and wealth that did not last...
Endure your learning status, Skep, old friend,
Since Life's halcyon days also must end.
Tomorrow you might find yourself the slave,
Your worldly goods all mould'ring in your grave.

TRAVESTY (I.)

The television prompter sadly bungled it,
Reducing eloquence to a comedic skit.
Alas, cannot our Prez'dent talk on his own feet?
"Veni, vidi,vici!" proclaim without the sheet,
Engage hostile leaders with clear, concise command,
Speak from the heart with passion they can understand?
This our land is of the free, the home of the brave;
You who try to harm us are digging your own grave!

IGNORANCE

Ignorance should never be equated with bliss;
Good physics could still err, give a hit or a miss.
Never conclude that there is no spiritual realm,
Or with confidence say Science does overwhelm
'Rumors' that there are souls or immortal beings.
All that exist in this world are material things...
Now, this acrostic you are reading does exist,
Corpus mine may vanish but these lines will persist,
Ergo:- My fruit must refute the materialist!

PREDILECTIONS

Predilections can make one fall into error.
Righteous Muslims proclaim there is only one God;
Extremists then justify their acts of terror,
Defying God's law ne'er to spill innocent blood.
It is time for all good people to realize
Long overdue are actions to remove old blinds,
Else fanatics will exhort and proselytize,
Continue to infect many malleable minds
That theirs is the only true faith, and that Christians
Including their children and kin, must all be slain.
Of course, we number only in the few billions...
Need we prove how prideful their 'jihad' is, how vain!
See rather how God's Hues blend into One again...

BIG WINNER

But what has Uncle Sam learned from this tragedy?
Is there inside these lads a secret malady?
Good-looking guys, acting normal and well-behaved,
What led them veer and become Lucifer-enslaved?
Indoctrinated with uncanny subtlety,
New 'jihadists' immersed in callous cruelty
Now slither in and out of our society...
Excise the teachers of these serpent 'jihadists';
Re-educate them to become true Islamists!

BIG LOSER (Memo for the Boston Bombers)

By what belief do you justify
Injuring and killing our brothers?
God's commandment you did dare defy,
Leaving explosives to harm others!
Obi once reminded Darth Vader--
"Strike me down and I'll rise up stronger."
Exactly the same words hurled from Boston town;
Retributive Justice will hunt you down!
