many heads, many names, of the snake

many heads, many names, of the snake
terror cells, evil states, generations,
many countries, dictators, strongman
poisoning their people, fomenting strife
anguish of their neighbors
all of them evil, cut from the cloth
the fabric of terror, of evil, of torture
of subjugation, intimidation
the work of the bullies, the zealots
those on the extremes, ready,
willing to fight, to die,
to cause harm to their neighbors
for what they believe in
bringing the fight, the terror, martyrdom
to innocent people, to those who disagree
with their polarized positions
pushing the nations to fight
to stoop to their level
to become bloodied, complicit,
to the spread of their evil

“Fallen Cameroonian soldiers from
the battle against terrorism. "Brave soldiers,
you paid the ultimate price but your fight will not be in vain.
We will keep fighting until the complete eradication
of this cancerous group called boko haram"
Allez et que la terre de nos ailleux vous
soit eternellement legere. La lutta continua”
My response 11/28/15
“unfortunately the snake of terrorism has many heads”
and his response back 11/28/15
I totally agree with you Ray. The body of that snake can well be
in the Middle-East, but the heads are probably in all the continents

post by John Makokha
My dear brother and pastor, why can't you preach the gospel of love
rather than that of hate, malice, prejudice and discrimination.
When Ebola strikes America where will you hide?
I will continue praying for God's intervention in
your heart and mind. God is LOVE.”
