Found himself rapping
On the gates of hell
Wanting entrance
for according to him
He accomplished his evil
cowardly deed
eliminating the innocent
of our world.
~~*~~
The Grim Reaper refused to escort
Another loser
to his eternal
Bath of brimstone
For there was not
Enough pieces left.
~~*~~
Satin with a tear
In the corner of his misery
Refused to answer
The rapping
On hell's
Chamber doors
Until the loser's
Hands and feet
Were shackled
And Yoked like a beast
Of burden
For there are no virgins
In "HELL"

Appropriate thoughts on terrorism eloquently express here.
Did you know that according to Burton's original translation of the Arabian Nights, the however many virgins martyrs will get (it seems to vary) is a mistranslation from an ancient text into Arabic. It is really raisins they get.
THE IMAGERY HERE IS GREAT, VERY CLEAR AS IS YOUR MESSAGE. IT IS SO SAD, FOR WHEN ONE IS UNABLE TO SEE GOD'S PURE LIGHT OF LOVE BECAUSE THEY ARE SO DEEPLY ROOTED IN A CULTURE WITH BELIEFS THAT ARE SENDING THEM TO HELL...WE CAN ONLY PRAY FOR THEM, WILLIAM. AND THOUGH IT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE IT, THERE ARE MANY THAT DO 'SEE THE LIGHT' AND CONVERT. THERE IS A SONG, ENTITLED; IN HEAVEN'S EYES' THAT GOES LIKE THIS; 'IN HEAVEN'S EYES, THERE ARE NO LOSERS. IN HEAVEN'S EYES, NO HOPELESS CAUSE. JUST PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE ME AND I'M AMAZED BY THE GRACE THAT CAN BE FOUND...IN HEAVEN'S EYES'. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

strong imagery, powerful words

But as an allegory for us all, it is fair warning.
Grim write, but very effective.
