Nefarious War
An unprecedented attack
Whirled on innocent civilians
Horrendous means used to ransack
Unfolded horror on millions
Families slaughtered in their homes
Some dragged away as hostages
Roads now witnessed as catacombs
By naked dance of savages
Kids beheaded while women ripped
Rocket whizzed in the smoky sky
Shot dead who tried to flee or hid
Bodies yanked and flagged, left to cry
Condemnation of countries poured
Humanity was brought to shame
World staged protests amidst uproar
But the holy lands lost their fame
A piece of land and religion
Of those historic arch-rivals
Escalated clash and tension
Backed by militant recitals
Among the disruptive chaos
Globe teetered on the brink of war.
