Yummy! The sentence structure and wild capitalization, as well as a run on phrases somehow work. And, in the end, all we know is that it is a truly "unknown thing."
I doubt if we would feel it when we are dead, only in our darkest dreams.
Read this one to the kiddies before nighty, night on Halloween and you can be sure to have some little ones awake all night with nightmares. ;-)

Darkly imaginative! Spine-chilling from the onset.
Syria's Massacre by Linda Hays-Gibbs (Poetry) - 9/19/2013 9:43:06 AM
War is hell and always has been. Innocents, including children, have always been killed. It's just that modern technology allows us to see it when it's happening. All the more reason to end the war altogether and come up with other ways of ending conflict.
All those crusades with God on our side killed so many children you wouldn't believe. Only there was never any reporting of it. Reports of valor and courage made better press than massacres of women and children. Do you think that B-52 strikes, carpet bombing, sending cruise missiles and shelling doesn't kill indiscriminately? There has always been, “collateral damage.” What makes us so self righteous when we have done the same?
The “he” you refer to is no different from a general in the Pentagon, with the will of the people of the United States behind him, ordering an airstrike on a country unable to stop the strike.

Their god is not such a kind and benevolent god. Their god is a pedophile, a murderer, and a god who marries very young children. As bad as our god, or rather Ron's god is, their god has NO redeeming qualities.

It is very tragic that a belief in the God of Abraham would lead to such a destructive purpose. But then, all one would have to do is read the Bible to find out that God is wrathful and the “chosen” people are always trying to annihilate their foes, who happened to turn out to be other people just like them, but possessing land or riches (like the land of Canaan) and need to be destroyed so that the chosen people can move in.
God is always wrathful regardless of which side he is on.

Dear Linda,
Loved your poem...
The key lines:
"Let them be caught in prayer to
A God of love with work to do"
We visit a foster camp for teenage boys. They hear the Word of God through our ministry. Kids who feel unloved are suddenly loved. Kids who did not trust a soul can now be made whole. If every kid in the world had regular visits from loving Christian souls they would not grow up with hearts of stone. Amen...
Peace, love and blessings,
John Michael Domino
