Andy Warhol Advises ISIS

Oh, you're doing it all wrong

you only need one beheading

you take the picture

and repeat it over and over

Take the neck wound

use it to print

by dipping it in different colored paints

then onto the canvas

One canvas will be pastels

another canvas rainbow colors

another black and white

photograph the apostate

only once

his accepting face

his grimacing face

his dead face

his dripping wounds

his headless body

repeat these images over and over

By killing so many

you remove potential buyers

of this art from the market

and upset potential supporters

they will be grateful

so grateful they'll buy

the images you have to sell

you'll make lots of money

enough to buy

tanks and planes

so you can march into Rome

and plant your flag on the obelisk

in Vatican Square

on the Washington Monument

and the White House

Art galleries

will see you have talent

it may take a few years

just look what I did

with 32 soup cans

just one victim is necessary

to make millions for your caliphate

That's another idea

just take the word caliphate

and repeat it over and over and over

on a canvas

before you print that word

paint a color in the space

of that word then print

the word

print the word

using different colors

for each letter

It'll catch on

It'll be art

Instead of killing

cartoonists who make fun

of Mohamed

Use art to make fun of cartoonists

Show them having sex

with sheep and donkeys

Say, that would make a great

black and white movie

I have lots of friends

who will help you make

this film

We'll show it in Central Park

People will pay admission

on Pay-per-view

across the world

You can make cartoons of singing and dancing

lifeless heads

You'll make so much money

that you can build a mosque of gold

as the central image

of Caliphateland

Kiddies will ride little rolling carts

made to look like pigs

with the heads of bad world leaders

who are your enemies

Get someone to write

It's a Muslim World after all

the song will be infectious

repeat it over and over and over

and over and over and over

After dusk, jets will drop fireworks

above the crowds eating chickpea hotdogs

The children lick candy suckers

in the shape of the lifeless heads
