"Operation Enduring Freedom?"

Like diligent spiders they
Kept spinning the flimsiest
Webs
How meticulously they plotted to
Spin their lies,
How judiciously they convinced
Us of the lowliness
Of helpless insects
And flies…
So caught up in their own
Snares of demise
So jubilant with their simulations
They became mesmerized
Eyes shut wide to the eagles
Soaring eternal melodies in the
Selfsame skies.

Like sorcerers tales they
Concocted their
Sordid designs
Setting up platforms to glitter
Counterfeit for all eyes
How predictably they wrapped
Hypothesis with colorful
Ties
How ridiculously bogus
Their disguise
So enchanted with their illusions
They became obtuse
Reality never fails to take them
By surprise

They claim intellect yet how
Can they be wise?
When they dug their own foundations
And did not see what underneath the
Surface lies.
They claim compassion yet how can they
Spit out contorted rhetoric with such
Empty eyes?
Dead hearts shackled with wretchedness they
Seek to terrorize.

Our survival co-opted our own
Demise,
Blood spilling generations for no reason or
Rhyme
We kept trailing tears nurturing
The earth
And like dust
In infinite colors
We continued to rise.

Confounded they furiously schemed,
"We have to end this tide!!!!"
In their wickedness so blind,
So blind
We endured silently
The Truth Will forever not hide
They cried and cried and claimed
God to be on their side
Yet how could they not see
Beneath the rags, dust, sweat
And tears,
We were simply veiling from
Weakened eyes
A dazzling glare of His
Spirit Divine?

-Maliha.
