The two Young Brothers thought to be primarily responsible for the Boston Marathon Bombings have been brought to Justice.

The World’s Altar of Violence

Oh, Bow to the World’s Altars of Violence

Bow and Bleed

Bow and Bleed

Bow and Bleed

Life’s Blood spilling and oozing

Into thirsty Concrete, Stone and Earth

Humankind, inDebtedly Chain and EnSlave YourSelves

To the World’s Altars of Violence

Fill your Babes’

Minds, Hearts, Bodies and Souls

With Violence’s multitudinous Dis-eases

The rotting and rotten Ravages of War

The Pestilence of DeFormed and MalFormed

Thoughts, Emotions, Flesh and Bone and Religions

Of Hate, Avarice and Destruction

Shoot your Fathers

Gut your Mothers

Blow up and Tear apart your Son and Daughters

Burn and Blister your Brothers and Sisters

In the Name of…….

Oh, Bow to the World’s Altars of Violence

Gobble up and spew forth all of Its putrefying Sacred Cows

And while rooting about upon your Hands and Knees

With pitiful cries and Martyrs Self-Sacrificial Pleas

Look to the Light within You

Try hard to find It

And earnestly Pray for Its Ascension

Pray for the Life-Giving

Waters of Redemptive and Tender Mercies

Pray for the Divine Milk of Human Kindness and Love

Love to end all Senseless and seemingly sensible Brutalities

Enough Energetic Cosmological Love

To crack the Altars of Violence asunder

And Rise from your aching and bloodied knees

And downtrodden Hearts and Souls as Rolling Thunder

To Stand firmly and assuredly

Within the Loving, Nurturing and Sustaining EnVisionings

Of Creating Heaven on Earth
