Analysis of To Never Learn
Sodom and Gomorrah
their tale retold
Ignoring scripture
the world grown cold
Semitic factions
that seek and kill
Their hate on fire
their rage instills
Sodom and Gomorrah
two faiths subscribe
The Quran and Bible
their fate describes
Brother kills brother
the hour late
“Vengeance Is Mine”
—damnations fate
