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!
