Full of belief, a bag hanging on his shoulder—

carrying scripts of the unknown world—

written in gobbledygook

to sneak through the hearts,

to buy a prefabricated god under whose name

people are lynched or stabbed in the heart;

A bomb fastened around his waist,

Ready to become a martyr, he chose his target:

A theater, full of people

It worked!

Blood everywhere,

Mission accomplished,

His imaginary god, satisfied,

He, in his paradise while

ISIS announces another victory!
