I am the Islamic Insurgent
In the name of Allah I shoot
On one hand I carry my gun
On the other I hold the Koran
Children at all ages are my target
I kill some in my daily rocket supply
While I train others for insurgency
On the sands of terror I take a walk
Leaving behind footprints of terror
Unless I spill blood of the innocent
I find no ink into which I dip my pen
Terrorism is a card I play with the devil
There is life in the death of others

It's horrendous enough that men insist on war, but to drag innocent children into it, is truly abysmal.
