Fearsome Omen

we face a fearsome omen
harbinger of continued war

vile disturbing omen
or portent of the future

our wicked oaths of
democracy for all

noisy blasts of patriotism
shriek of death, destruction

squadrons wither in fratricide
legions maimed, dead from ied’s

desert baked muslim sects
leave charred bodies in the sand

will evil and hatred continue
we face a fearsome omen
