The Caliphate's War Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

The Caliphate's War



Ideology and theocracy enveloped the desert city of Mosul
A caliphate born under the blinding sand storm
Overpowered mankind's desire for peace
Casting away the book of law
Embedding itself on the psyche of men
Rupturing into the streets
In a violent act of war
Against mankind
Women and children
Young and old
All prosecuted under the desert sun
All found guilty of being human
All executed on a stake
