A Journal for Western Man |

An act of terrorism commit you must. After a conference declaring you were right, You claimed the lives of thousands to your delight. Your reasons flawed, your vision blind with hate, You had ordained for innocents so pitiful a fate. Because of nationalism and fanatical ideal, Because of vehement displays of how you feel, You’ve murdered; and to change that is too late. Too long have you confined the world in bonds of fear. The people will not bear intimidation here. With puffy flames by which grand buildings fell, You have forfeit your petty lives as well. For justice does dwell still in people all around. Only great enmity have you in others found. We will not parlay with you as we did before, All thoughts of right demand a sacred war To extinguish hate, to quell desire to kill, With arms of justice your headquarters fill. You will not stand a chance against morality, You will be shunned by even your own God, For you cannot escape the grim reality That you’ve revealed: Islamic Fundamentalism’s fraud.
