Irony, the International Criminal Court and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (VI)

150 Sunni Muslims unearthed in mass grave; yet another crime against humanity
by the Islamic State … and its ‘Caliph’ … Abu Bakr … al-Baghdadi.

The ‘Caliph’ can’t kill fast enough to suit himself. Thankfully, he’s also sufficiently
brazen enough to be well on his way … to convicting himself … ironically.

For would it not be ironic if the Islamic State’s very own video postings are to be
evidence in the International Criminal Court … against … al-Baghdadi.

Verily, it would be supremely ironic if the Islamic State’s very own video postings
were to be used … as evidence … in an ICC proceeding.

For normally, in any ICC investigatory proceeding of crimes against humanity
probative evidence is less than enough to promise … a verdict of “guilty”.

But here, a sociopath on a par already with the worst sociopaths in world history,
provides evidence against himself … most fortuitously.

Most fortuitously, that is, for us; stupidly, for him and his ilk. And how much more
ironic might this be … were an outcome to be … AN END TO WAR!

An end to war …. How on Earth might that be? It may be when I treat thee
as I would be treated … by thee.

ON WHY … ARTHUR WRITES

Ours is a surreal and seemingly impossible mission in #twitterfiction;
forgive the trespasses of others, and be led not … into temptation.

In #twitterfiction, hate is born of perverted spirituality; the Muslim
Sunni and Shia reminiscent of, Catholics and Protestant, Christian.

It is supremely easy, #twitterfiction, for the talking heads to ignore me
(an individual) but ignoring a global community, won’t be … as easy.

Wanted, indeed, needed is a groundswell. One that abnegates surrealities
such as nationality, in #twitterfiction, in favor of … humanity.

Ergo, in #twitterfiction, AN ATLAS … POETIC; a prayer and a plea,
for Mandela-Tutu-like global truth and reconciliation … please.

In #twitterfiction, AN ATLAS, POETIC; poetry about history, sociology
and eschatology; irony in verse, for each nation … and territory.

ON CALIPHATES … AND NATION-STATES

In #twitterfiction, hate is born of perverse spirituality; the Sunni and Shia Muslim
reminiscent of Catholics and Protestants … Christian.

In #twitterfiction, hate’s born of perverse spirituality and nationality,
whether in caliphates restored or nation-states … traditionally.

#Twitterfiction-al insight, more than hindsight, and more than foresight, best
illumes meaningfulness, from the shadow of … meaninglessness.

In #twitterfiction, previews to AN ATLAS TWEETED; poetry about history, spirituality
and eschatology, from epigrams, and a blog … unitary.

#Twitterfiction: Come to @chachomanopapa on Twitter and its surrealistic analog, chachomanopapa.wordpress.com. Poetry about history from tweets, and a blog.
