Doublespeak.

I just don't understand. Another American, Paul M. Johnson, Junior, was beheaded today. My prayers and sympathies to his family.


Poem Artwork

You want me to believe you.
How can I when all I hear are lies?
Doublespeak.
You tell people that you love peace.
You condemn terrorist attacks.
Then why is there celebrating in the streets?

You want me to accept you.
How can I when all I see is hate?
Suicides.
There's been another beheading.
There's so much anger in your heart.
DEATH TO INFIDELS!  DEATH TO AMERICA!!

You want me to change my ways.
I don't think I've done anything wrong.
Average.
I'm not politically active.
Will you take my apology?
Or is it too late...how many more will die?

You want me to listen to you.
How can I when I can't see your face?
Just your eyes.
They are the windows to the soul.
But why must the rest be hidden?
How many secrets are you keeping from view?

You want me to trust in you.
I would if you would only explain.
What'd I do?
And why do you hate me so much?
What did *I* ever do to you?
Let me ask you:  Why do you want to kill me?

I think a lot of us feel this way. It is so tragic and frustrating and you have certainly captured that in your eloquent poem.

Karla ,a question that can't be answered by
murderers and satanic cowards who hide behind
Islam, but have nothing to do with it!They are
Satans minions! They are doing his work,therefore
they can't give you an answer!Great write!

I must agree - this is such a truthful view and it really demonstrates the mindless futility of evil - it never results in peace...only violence.

Thank you for sharing.

Must agree how do ya trust when you see so many actions against what they say they stand for in the religion, but as usual a minority can make the majority look so wrong.
Hopefully all thhe world will wake up and lrevent them from a safe hiding place.
Most powerful statement here from you today.

I dont care what anybody says, the fact is that Islam is a very violent religion. Like you rightly wrote, their actions speak for itself. I am glad someone is crying out against this outragious and barbaric act.

Yup violence begets violence.

How heart breaking it is, this young mans death.

Their just after killing the capital/free world.

I'm just glad Blair had a row with france over europes new constitution. leaving us to still fight when we need, as the rest of europe hides, or runs like spain..

Time too really fight for peace. Oh boy did Bush look angry.

Well said Karla.....

E.W. is right, Karla. Hate fuels hate, and mankind is truly a hateful species, the most intelligent on the planet, yet the most hateful. Truly a shame.

you pose some powerful questions here...unfortunately, I don't believe anyone has an answer...hate fuels hate, murder fuels murder...you can sugar coat it, use what ever euphimism you want, blame it on God, or say it is his will...but in the end it is still hate and murder.
Lady Buckey, this is one of the strongest pieces I have seen come out of your pen...Splendid job.

They are for the most part barbarians who have no concept of decency or freedom. Their god is a god of death, deception and corruption. Lies are the currency with which they trade. I've been working on a similar piece for a couple of days, but am just too damn disgusted to work on it right now. I may say something unkind... right. Great write.
