Hi Mikey;
-I see that this writing takes on a political and humanistic approach to life's endurance with an adversary who is ruthless and unpredictable.
-Your 2/4/2 syllabic format is written with blood red curdling letters placed on a black background to give it a prolific tone to express your writing even further.
-Good luck in the contest and may the good Lord be with you always Mikey.

For such a wonderfully wordy guy, it amazes me how you come up with these perfect little gems. No easy task with this so called form.
A little room for contemplation of your last line as it has a bit of amgiuity to it. That only triggers contemplation. The message is clear. What else can be done? I think this is a possible winner! NG

I'm so pleased by your response. I agree with your analysis. I know every time a video is seen, this is the response. Glad you caught the room for interpretation in the satori line. Just what I hoped for. Whew, love the stars. mikey
Comment from reconciled
"Bukhari" 52:220...Allah's apostle said: "I have been made victorious with terror" Quite a difference between " turn the other cheek". striking another in the cheek was considered an insult back in the day...what that really means...is if someone insults you...brush it off.
However...insult to point of decapitating our right to life. Forces the hand of God. I'm afraid some evil can only be overcome when met with same intensity. Love Michael

We're right on the same page, Michael. What other response can there be. They don't seem open to a nice chit chat. :))
What a great response and stars. WHOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO, LOVE YOU, to paraphrase. Ha! mikey

Expressive and timely, dear Mikey. A good satirical commentary, making a fine entry for this 2-4-2 contest. It's quite a challenge to convey much in few words. This succeeds.
Good luck!
Warmly, rd

Comment from giraffmang
Hi Mikey,
Just wanted to enter the competition, eh? Good job with this.
ISIS are like all these organisations, even when the head is but off, they still go on. Just a bruised cheek for them.
I think that denouement line is exceptionally clever and I've thought on this for a little while since you posted. In addition to what I stated above, the bruised cheek could be an indictment of foreign policy, too long have we looked the other way and been hit time and time again. not just by ISIS but with other groups too.
Of course it could just be literal as the head bounces of the ground ... but I severely doubt it.
I think this is very clever.

You're on the mark with your analysis. I did want some room to contemplate though, so I'm pleased you found that. Yeah, I can't think of any other way to stop them. mikey
Comment from Realist101
Yes! ISIS is a scourge, and spreading like cancer too. I don't know how they'll ever be wiped out. I don't think they will be. Not in our lifetime anyway. But good thoughts for this poem. I agree. :/ I get furious when I see photos or videos of them. Best of luck too Mikey! This is original.

We agree completely. It just burns the heart to see what these so-called humans are capable of. So pleased it gave you pause. mikey
Comment from Pantygynt
Well I'm happy with the two cents. And I agree. Trouble is this thing is like the Hydra the more heads you chop off the more grow back. It is really hard to see where it will all end but I don't think it will be in my lifetime.

It's certainly difficult to imagine anything but returning the favor as being effective. Sadly, I see no end in sight. Thanks so much. I'll promote from now on. I feel guilty folks were reviewing anyway. Grateful too though. Thanks so much, mikey
