Muslim terrorists who go by the acronym ISIS have captured much of northern Iraq and beheaded every Shiite they come across. But why have they pledged allegiance to a distant Egyptian goddess? One would think if they were going to go that route they would have picked someone a bit more dangerous and deceptive. Osiris for example. But maybe they didn’t select Osiris because the god Osiris is resident in the White House.

Crisis in the Middle East
From the ISIS at the least
Would a goddess do such things?
Topple presidents and kings?
Would sheer terror be her game
Would she set it all aflame?
It’s Osiris if we’re wise
He is wont to wear disguise
When he ambles up the steps
Of the White House where adepts
Of his Underworld reside
Making no attempt to hide
Creatures of the River Styx
They have brewed a deadly mix
Acolytes like Susan Rice
Who the demons think quite nice
Jarrett queen behind the throne
Power from dark hell on loan
Yet Obama pulls the strings
And fair Isis spreads her wings
And the crisis fades away
And the kids come out to play
But of course it’s all for show
In the wide world they all know
That it’s all come tumbling down
As the leaves are turning brown
And the oceans swell with rage
And the gods all turn the page
For the current race is done
We don’t know yet who has won
