shrine of the master

Merciless to the siege -
Agents massacred
Protected fortress -
Underground militia
Religious sect -
Proclaimed messiah
David Koresh
Devoted followers -
One mans domain
Fortified compound -
Stockpile of weapons
Forced reproduction -
Tunnels underneath
Protecting children -
From the enemy
Battalion of tanks -
Failed negotiations
Stronghold secured
Rounds of ammunition fired
Canisters of
C-S gas -
Dispersed inhumanely
Interpretations of the seven seas
Book of revelations
Reconstructed skull -
Bullet wounds found
In craniums of slain disciples
Masks of bureaucracy -
Identities released
Survivors interrogated -
Reaccounting the horror
Useless ordeal -
Ends in death
Merchants of greed -
Fire consumes
Cloaked in sympathetic dismay
Beyond the grasp of the mind
In death the answer lies
Divine inspiration
Ascension towards supremacy
Dreadful endowment
Scriptures recited
Vengeance from martyred souls
Hero of the tribulation
Prepared to sacrifice
Allured by the disguise
Isolated from the world
Bodies lay scattered -
Apocalyptic hell
Terrifying scene -
Chilling act of suicide
Devoured by raging flames
Leaving a horrified world
