The human belt is set to go
an incredibly difficult business
volunteers fused and mindfully set
The smartest of bombs can not
pretend to be a pregnant woman
without an escape plan
Spreading around the world
This weapon with but one message
“No One Is Safe–Anywhere”
in the here and then again
Forbidden by the Prophet
the bottom line is not entirely clear
for those bent on starting out in Paradise
As Paradise seems to exists
only for those with a day or two’s notice
on where to detonate themselves
