Terrorism is not a War

Terrorist threats predicated by ideology

Of a sick mind who worships idolatry

Cowards disguised as martyrs

Who destroy and slaughter Innocent people

Who worship under steeples

Terrorism is not a war

It’s fear from those we abhor Religious epithets

and ethnic slurs Produce a monster

like swine before pearls

Innocent children

Hearts not yet hardened

Terrorism will not be defeated

Until nations unite against those conceited

Misguided souls propelled by delusion

That life is but an illusion

Governments cannot win this war

But each person must face this chore

Terrorism is part of our history Since Abraham,

it’s not a mystery Inhumanity and humanity

co-exist Between the precipice and

the abyss For we reside between heaven

and hell Where will you be when He rings the bell?
