Questions For a Terrorist

Tell me why it is with your smile that you lie, Are you some latter day Judas bestowing terror? So that the innocent and unconcerned may die To kill and maim with your traitors kiss. Forever Reviled in good men and women’s eyes Or is it just that, caring not for your legacy of grief Your mind and soul are separated, kept apart Isolated by the desires of your flesh from true belief By the skin and sinew of your earthly heart? Desperate to gain your Heavenly prize If so, then from me and my kind you will get no succour. No benediction, no understanding and no relief. And do beware the promises of false Gods for They will steal your soul like a spectral thief And each will find them out but when he dies
