satanic verses
in plathian gobbledygoo
from a jerusalem ass
a beast with two voices
all kitted out
in daddy's jackboots
mindless as a palm frond
achooing excuses
for the rack and the screw

hosanna hosanna
the language obscene
from the lips of a panzer-man
baptizing his corpses
in beslen-like streams

drill holes in the eyes
of all those who displeased
the merciless fascist
with the movable feast
celebrated by sycophants

too blind to see the candle’s blown out
and the deceiver
lies in pathological darkness
flesh born from ashes
worm-holed through and through
the son of a father
'brute heart of a brute'

I really do like this, but I as well am having trouble figuring it out. And I understand why you have so many allusions and metaphors and such, as I tend to do that too, but perhaps some more hints? I think it has something to do with religion and/or following a leader just because you're told to? I could be off but this type of ambiguous poem is my favorite.
