Terror Struck

The whole world is terror struck
by worshippers of death.
They blow themselves to bits,
equivalently twits, mystifying wits,
to snuff-out the breath
of countless victims
who are innocent.

They impose their symptoms
of dogmatic dictums;
seldom diffident, never reticent.

The whole world is terror struck
by worshippers of hate.
They slash with derisions,
unfounded decisions, excusing collisions,
to verve mutilate
of countless victims
who want to live free.

They impose their symptoms
of adamant dictums;
defy sovereignty, deny liberty.
