Only man kills his offspring for gain
Like the hell left pick a soul drag them through the street to face the mothers Screen burns the fear of me inside Children dressed to die in the war Not the casualty but salt and desire Pawns left on a sea of hate living Hell delivered by madness of right Shallow grave ideas resurrect bury not the idea burn it hot give it a final burial cut out the heart When did man drop his hate on children Plans to take life before growth survive Slugs of the planet dressed black childless Martyrs with faith gone to hell and back Direction of angels deaths calling souls Wailing in the street across the world take the core from the beast lay it open destroy in public view, idea and the man Which of the many stood before the throne of God No place for gun or the souls left to float home Mixed in the shell a few depressed by the evil Does the devil dance at the mix of hate and nationalism Cowards each hiding behind a religious disguise Searing hate in the sun of day let it wither not on the vine but in the ground kill the seed before it can grow again How much is piece of ground worth an idea Take a life kill a child in hope of recognition Slide to the pit of a school miscalculation Seek them out too good to die live the lie Dress them in the death cloak blow out their brains March in the face of man seeking cold blood cause is the gun left in the soul watching death torture and loss begets same destroy both No place for these on this earth send them to hell Never is a life worth being lost to terror and pain Deceived by the drive to and from pain self hatred Take many from here go willing to show loyalty dying Pawns to be sought out and removed with those who sent them

Why does god allow those murders? A good father would step in and save the children.

If by "man" you mean humankind, rest assured, these are not of our species... humankind has always known blinding of greed, envy of neighbor, war, and hatred toward differences... these are the downside of our ability to socialize (or not)... these terrorists value nothing... not even their own religion, which finds their acts intolerable. Make no mistake, they embarrass the very teachings they proclaim... I am a pacifist. I also wish them dead! I do not think of this as opposing attitudes. Your rant is brilliantly phrased in many places... timely and important. katy xox.

No place for these on this earth send them to hell

Many terrorists throughout the history of mankind belong in this category, including these latest barbarians in Russia, Walter.
