Iconic Images bl (Poem )








A has been -
no longer what he was,
once, tried and tested
with blazing AK 47's,
rockets launchers
on battlefields,
against Mongols and Tartars.
taking comfort in the cavernous
bowels of Afghanistan
and mighty forces spitting the
tongue of death from superior artillery,
supplied by a future enemy.
A has been -
once a symbol of revolutionary bravado,
an egomaniac steeped in delusions of grandeur,
who breached the homeland of
the Green Lady.
A has been except for
posters: bounty on his head
WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE ...



The search, unbeknowest as he was sequestered
in a fortified military complex,
in Pakistan,
armed with a remote control,
looking at an
bygone age of perpetuation,


news updates and pornographic sites
on Al Jazeera,
masturbating and lusting at pictures
of dead bodies sacrificed in the name of martyrdom,



a has been, caught with pants below the knees
