An extreme form of anger. by Jackarrie
    Deadly Sins Contest Winner 



waging war on civilians
babies who have barely lived
wrath on an epic scale
seeing compassion as weakness
integrity as blindness to reality
hiding out in churches and hospitals
in selected protected vehicles
ambulances carry their weapons
medics who help heal wounds are slain
hostages are fodder for their sick cause

with 
fiery passion they apply their wrath
believing their God Allah will condone
and
reward them for this gross annihilation
