Evil Is As Evil Does

Killing is killing But I say NO It takes a truly evil being To commit such blasphemy To steal the show. Say what you will About U.S. complicity in this crime That we should exit Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq That we have the blood of innocents on our hands I say, it goes much deeper this time It goes to the core Of what makes us humane And gives us the capacity for compassion To say NO to our baser instincts And to choose to step back from the Game Look to your heart For it is there you will find The scales of justice That determines the good from the evil And separate those who see, from those that are blind Beheading is a heinous act That leaves me physically ill It goes beyond the pale And leaves me questioning How & why do they kill! Hamas, Syrian terrorist They call it, holy Jihad, How arrogant to claim it is Holy When in reality, its just plain evil! And they will stand before and answer to their God! - See more at: http://allpoetry.com/poem/11625615--Evil-is--As-Evil-Does--by-Bar-Ponneck#sthash.HKvTk3sP.dpuf

The USA is always damned if they do and damned if they dont, and hindsight is 20/20, however as you say, I know evil when I see it. Hamas, Hezbollah, and Isis, 3 branches of the same tree. Great poem.
