Dont Call Him a Terrorist

You don’t call him Terrorist’
Who can’t dislocate a wrist:
Whose speeches do the plain harm
While he might not waste a farm.

His palms like ancestors bares,
Ancient styles promotes like wares;
He’d forgotten worldly cares,
Save open taunts of false heirs…

Less Terrorist Humorist
To whom East West is West East 
And  A K 47
Kills just 47…

He is no more terrorist 
As the clothed is Nudist: 
In speeches sues not for peace 
And cares not when faces crease 
Fears food cooked by his niece 
And wife first asks to taste hers 
In case Eater ends in hearse…

Strange ways of prizing his fame:
Free to Holy wedlock shame:
The marching to marriage lame;
Juliet’s love for Romeo tame.

Wow! Very strong, and well done. That is quite an indictment.
