Some kind of devil

Some kind of devil

What kind of man is this?
Cowering behind a crucifix
The ignorant pugilist
He's invaded my land
Murdered my sons
What is it that I've done?
A warless victory he's won
As defenseless victims run
The riot before the desert storm
The quite of the norm
Killing the unborn
Scream until my throat is torn
The media rapist
Herds of the faceless
Gather without placement
An insane patient
An infectious rash
Hiding behind piles of cash
A floor covered in shells
A war in hell
Allah we aren't well
Flaming fields of toxic fodder
Not just sins of the father
Not just the sum of slaughter
Bodies laid out
Felt like my heart gave out
Countries with no loyalties
Homicide for the royalties!
Puncture my soul until the oil bleeds!

I'm assuming that this is about the war in Iraq. You got a simple but very nice rhyme scheme that packs quite a punch and the reference to Desert Storm was brilliant.

A slap in the face to the powers that be, but done in a controlled kinda way. Not overly violent or overly sarcastic. I like the flow and the feelings behind the words are felt by many so most will be able to relate to the piece. The imagry is wonderful and easy to see in the mind's eye. Great work.

Hardcore with a sharp and witty edge is what you have here. The imagery is spectacular, nearly verging on the fantastic, the rhetoric is demeaning, full of lecherous anger, and yet at the same time controlled.
