Terrorism Uses Violence By Franklin Price 9/21/2016 Terrorism, uses violence to politically achieve a goal The terrorist does the dirty work, as required, it's his role. A bomb, a gun, a knife or two, a commercial high-jacked plane Anything to scare the public, causing death and hurt and pain The acts that we have witnessed, for fifteen years and more, I don't believe are terrorism; let's examine what they're for. Perpetrators have no politics; at least none I can see. Some say, it is religion; doesn't much sense to me It's about the haves and have nots. The haves, have riches to entice The have nots, who have no future, into terror that's not nice. If the enticed had any politics, would they take a one-way ride? Terrorism, as it's known today, mostly ends in suicide The poor and the impressionable, are the ones who join the cause To disrupt those who have a future; they do not stop or pause.. Strike fear into the lives of those who have a stable life. Cause them to wonder, if they're next; replace stability with strife Can't see how that's political; except make civil go away, May inject their chaos anywhere; to hold the world at bay. Looks like they're succeeding. They're disrupting every day Can't let their acts continue; can't let them have their evil way If violence is all they know; the only thing they use Here's what I say that we should do; a plan they can't refuse Don't make excuses for them. Don't give them any slack. Make all efforts, now, to stop them. Don't talk useless, idle smack. Send the special forces, the snipers and the drones Kill those who plan to harm us until there's nothing left but bones What does not exist, can't hurt us, can't recruit misguided men, Can't kill others indiscriminately, can't be terrorists (?) again.
