The Prime Minister and his Progeny, ISIS
The Parisian atrocities were born in Libya
Where Cameron, Sarkozy, and Obama
Murdered twelve thousand Libyans between sips
Of Downing Street and Oval Office coffee.
The mastermind of the Paris massacres
Was Abdelhamid Abaaoud
A member of Katibat al-Battar al-Libi –
As ISIS’s Libyan brigade is called.
He saw himself as fighting for Libya,
Along with his brother Younis.
Abaaoud was fighting for disaffected Libyans
Long before the formation of ISIS. 1
Why would he do so? To make common cause
With those who’d seen their country destroyed
By Cameron’s bombs and drones and assassinations
Ensuring that Libya was ruined and doomed.
Since 1990 Western wars have killed four million Muslims,
According to the Physicians for Social Responsibility.2
Western governments however keep no accurate records.
Dead Muslims deserve only an inhuman invisibility.

And of their “cutting off the rattlesnake’s head”
Risks neglecting the fact that its rattle can resonate
And continue rattling long after it’s dead.
It’s easy to demonize people as psychotic monsters
And to forget what goes around comes around,
As Cameron plans destroying Syria and killing innocents
To avenge Paris, for which he is partly to blame.
A Prime Minister who photoshops a poppy onto his official portrait
In order to enhance his patriotism
And who claims that 70,000 “moderate” Syrians wish for his bombs
Is a dangerous sham who’s prone to self-deception.
The now familiar black flag of the Islamic State
With its white letters ‘No God but God”
Is black because in early Islam the colour was for mourning
But it’s also for revenge for those wrongfully dead.
