After Isis

People choose your side
Know that you are satisfied 
And if you are defeated 
Wonder if at home you’ll be greeted

But returning will not always work 
Especially if you are a terrorist jerk
Then what remains of your family 
To a UN refugee camp they’d flee

Holding severed heads is not photogenic to us 
And is taboo outside of the ISIS fuss
For you are branded then
A Terrorist and damaged goods until your own end.
