A Death'

Yesterday,last night, our nation's people celebrated,
Over the death of a killer, violent in nature, decrepid.
A man from a wealthy family of men.
Him, taking advantage and really turning on them.

We will never understand his evil,
Turning good men an woman, children, to hurt, must be the devil.
The Koran, has basically the 1st five books in the Holy Bible,
Written for the same people, for their spiritual guidance.

This man, this killer of the innocents,
Will ultimately be judged, in God's kingdom.
Educated, wealthy family why was he so evil?
Koran teaches love and wisdom, why the corruptible?

Searching for yourself, is the wisdom,
Spiritually searching for God and His eternal kingdom.
To believe in something new, in a healthy change,
Was Osama Bin Laden was fooled by the trickster of this age?

I'll never forget that fateful day,
In a hotel room in Vegas, throwing my money away,
Was loosing, this was the gambling part of my life.
I was struggling spiritually, I was in strife.

Going back to this evil mans death,
Did he feel the same way about people, with his last breath?
Believing that violence really solved anything,
Was truly an amazing trick, by Satan an his favorite thing, sin.

Being human, having faults, somewhere had turned him,
It came from evil, a bad seed that was within.
His family I'm sure suffered embarrassment,
In their rejection of him, he became a major culprit.

Caught up in a web of terror,
He paid a greater price, he made his biggest error.
God finally said, "Enough is enough,"
Let's put this evil one to rest, and finish this blight on us.

I'll always forgive, but, I will never forget,
That it's only one less evil, We will meet more yet.
We Christians must remain vigil,
For who's the devil next choice, who will be the devil's next evil.

We have at least for now, closer, a time to heal,
We had to put another madman down, that was real.
We as Christians will always remain on constant vigil,
Being honest, fearful of God, He teaches us His own way to fight pure evil.

I never before felt happy to learn of someone's death, Robert. In fact, that feeling makes me guilty. But bin Laden will go down in history with Hitler as devils incarnate. I'm sure there are others who have left a legacy of blood and tears, but you're right that we have to remain vigilant and identify these perpetrators before they have a chance to do so much harm. Awesome poem, dear friend. Love, Carolyn
