JUST DESERTS

At last
one less false prophet
.....murderer
........terrorist
........... mad man

Sent to join Hitler
on shared date of death
did any really doubt Assoma's fate?
.his only trial
...................by muzzle's blast
....................guilty
..............by self admission

Hiding, as usual, behind shields of flesh
..........................................................women
..........................................................children
Monster..............
....his corruption hurled into the ocean
....to be eaten by scavengers

There will be no shrine
IT is dead......................next?

How fitting...

that someone who thought they were the most famous of villians, to have his name mispronouced and mispelled.Heh! Yes, he got his just dessert. I'll bet that he died sniveling, and cringing, just before they put a bullet in his head! Exterminate, with extreme predjudice! Nice work, by the way, Stan. I liked the format, in so much that it made me think of some kind of bulletin, or telegram. Held my interest all the way! ~ Gee

hi Geez

I wonder how he is explaining his actions to his god now? I understand there was a woman killed who was being used as a human shield. A coward and hypocrite to the last. Now the question...Who wants to be next lol...........stan
