Who’s afraid Mr. Terrorist?

In the light of the recent terrorist attacks all over the world I thought this was an apt time to put out this one. Its a shame 'MAN' is the only creature that kills another of it's kind in the name of it's creator but considers mercy killing a crime. Aren't animals better off? They don't care who their creator is and when they kill their own it's as euthanasia.


Poem Artwork

 You came in with blazing guns,

Killing children, Rabbis and Nuns,

And then I saw, in a picture your face,

As you were scurrying to your hiding place.

 

Places and dates differ,

Your lot remains the same,

You come as killers trained by a killer,

Oh terrorist without face and name!

 

You’ve gunned us down in schools,

You’ve bombed our hotels and trains,

You’ve held hostage guests of our country,

You’ve even targeted us with planes.

 

The only beats missed,

Were the ones on our bass – drums,

We didn’t shrink and shrivel in fear,

Nor mourn for long our dead chums,

 

Our heads were bowed not in fear,

But out of respect for those,

Who lost their lives in a battle,

That you were sent to start and lose.

 

Be it U.S., Israel or India,

The common man always dies,

While the only nation that protects ya,

Does the only thing it knows, it Lies!

 

You always attack incognito,

And immediately into hiding flee,

If your objective is to spread terror,

Tell me who’s terrorized you or me?

 

Just ‘coz I’m forgiving; don’t think I’m weak,

Don’t try the limit of my patience,

I gave you and your lot your freedom,

Don’t make me take it back out of vengeance.

A much needed write. Cowards they are as they are afraid of the truth. So they try to erase all that tell it like is. COWARDS! Why we are all are imperfect and they shed innocent blood in the name of the Devil. No good God would want anyone to kill what He has created. That type of logic is really sick! Amen

To ambush is the preferred method for the predator. In nature, the predator always eats what he kills. If we catch a terrorist, perhaps we should ask the terrorist to eat what he killed. It should be videoed and placed on the Internet for all of the would-be terrorists to see.

I'm being satirical here. I hope that I don't get hate mail as result of what I just wrote. The fact is, terrorists act out of passion and not with reason or purpose like animals. Hence, they cannot be dealt and trusted like animals of prey can. They must be discovered before they commit these heinous acts of unconscionable violence toward innocent people.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. My poem, Alienation, speaks to the root cause.

There will always be terrorism, but terrorism will never win.

Great! Wonderful. Those of us who act
like animals are to be congratulated?
somehow that seems a bit extreme.
