By Means Extreme

They came to be counted
Listening, intently to Their current king...

Encircled, by
His coven of businessmen

The practiced patriarchs
call For every able bodied soul

Willing to sacrifice their all
For shares In the greatest treasure-ever...

Hoards of pirates, priests, warlords, thieves
Fell in step With armies Of old world death dealers

from antiquity. Having been Embattled survivors
Of countless centuries Of victorious warriors,

Murderers and thieves... Having persistent failures
To maintain peace, Fought to enrich themselves...

And those they led. Enemy/ally, friend and foe...
No one was spared long Beyond the mellow devil's

indecent proposals. By smokescreens,
Hide such ill intent... Misleading marks,

Sketched upon skin A written promise,
A beginning. Expectations of civility on a whim

An iconic compromise of dire consequences
For a people lead to void their existence

With no inkling. Of its purpose or its end
Spotters who see the unfolding moments

Stand, at the ready to unleash
Their hidden swords from their scabbards

Raise them high
Upon the signal Prearranged...

Send them Singing ...death in the wind
Of yet another Civilized, kin...

And after They've found their mark
Plunge them deep into the bleeding hearts

Of old and young, Women and children too
Extermination, the task at hand

to Remove all claim to stolen lands.
And fallen empires, which... No longer stand

Allowing no honor
To bone, nor flesh of once fallen warriors

into silent screams Spread over the nations
blood-soaked lands. Say nothing of the priests

Whose deliberate acts Defiled, defied...
A living, loving God, thus Upon, death...

Directly, following Your last breath...
Your passport to heaven

is irrevocably,
Denied

"By means...Extreme." Indeed, C2. Like the profound wordplay in laying out and clarifying the oppressors' intentional "extreme means" Well done. Peace and Love.
