Sinwar Writhes

by Paul Martin Freeman (November 2024)

The Last Judgment (detail) (Fra Angelico, 1432-35)

 

Now Sinwar writhes and rots in Hell
In pain surpassing measure.
Now in this evil place he’ll dwell
And damned he’ll stay forever.

No peace for all eternity;
No prospect of relief;
With all his vile fraternity
Before him only grief.

From every side they leer at him:
Malignant ghouls and fiends.
They’ll tear his corpse from limb to limb
And mince him through machines.

And every dawn they’ll start anew:
In Hell each day’s the first!
They’ll pulverise him into goo
And on him slake their thirst!

And always will he be aware
Of what’s performed on him;
His mouth agape and eyes astare:
No fate so foul or grim!

Each day he’ll suffer this ordeal
And through their bodies pass:
Digested as the Devil’s meal;
Excreted from its a***!

Then, come the dark, he’ll mend again,
Made ready for the dawn,
As bits of him rejoin the main
And once again he’s born.

Yet night will offer no relief—
His pain surpassing measure!—
With cackling hags inflicting grief,
Employing him for their pleasure.

His life is done but now begins
The torment Sinwar’s earned,
For all his vice and all his sins
And all of Heaven spurned.

    HAARETZISM (- casting genuine fear of racist Arab-Islamist terror as supposedly “racist,” while justifying or at least Whitewashing that raw racist terror targeting Jews).

    Ramallah lynch 10.12.00: Animalistic lynching of 2 Israeis who lost their way, beaten, brutality butchered. Crying Allah Akbar: mutilation while moaning as Arab masses cheer public square, (described as bestial / like animals), “Palestine” policeman involved, PA would glorify butchers; apologetic for racist Arab terror Haaretz don’t pass ‘lynch test’ [Haaretzism]

  2. Wow! Quite a poem! I imagined his hereafter differently — arriving in Paradise, he sees Nasrallah and beats him up for only tepidly attacking Israel after October 7. Naturally, Nasrallah files a complaint with the Paradise police department who escort Sinwar to the opposite corner of Paradise — but there, a bunch of Shia martyrs who saw the indignities Nasrallah suffered, gang up on Sinwar and beat him up; than — needless to say — Hamas martyrs leave their allotment of virgins to beat up the Hezbullah’s martyrs — and so it goes, day in and day out since ever Sinwar ascended to Paradise!
