Encoded Response

terrorist you are not 
the chosen, 

you are not the future, 

you're violence in the bin 
failure to move with time 
ensures you, your faith 
left behind 

terrorist not worth selvedge 
set adrift - desert marooned 

archaic resolution- 
self target looms 

terrorist success a myth 

demon leader revealed 
coward concealed 

"madman" not fit to hold power, 
unstable faith, 
parallel history, future mistake 

unorthodox prejudice 
self appointed crusader 
opponent under the radar 

self sacrifice denied 
false profit rejected 
question mental status? 
question mental? 

the destroyer of what God 
created will succumb 
at the mercy, self bomb 

the man of true faith, 
God will empower, measured 
the needs of many-not few 
we will have peace... 
with or without you
