Go Tell the Terrorist
You are not gallant
as they say
You are not fierce
as your heart boasts
You are but a coward
The corward of this age
For you have but no blood
Coursing in your veins
Neither are you a gliding
serpent
Nor a blazing dragon
For those have hearts in
their chests
You exalt yourself
as of the heavens
And push a crown
onto your brainless head
Just because you have
sprayed your bullets
On worshippers
Who know not your cause
And splashed their brains
Onto the holy ceiling
above
Just because you have
covered
The pure white walls
With a surge of red rain
Of the innocents' blood
Just because you have
raided
The skulls of our innocents
And placed your bullets
there
You flaunt your red
crowns
Gorged with blood
To the world to see?
Tell me not your case
Go face those you accuse
For is it this child you
accuse?
Before us you stand
vanquished
Bombs or no bombs
We remain uncowed
Death or no death
We remain unbowed
For even death cannot
stand us
For death rules only in the
grave
And soon will be deposed
What a fool you are
In all the world
To feast on lies
Your small brain
That your hope
Is in those bags
Of death that you flaunt
You can hurl them all you
want
Those carriers of your
death
But we never will bow
down
We never will go down
To you and the death you
bring
Even if you push on your
head
That unholy crown of
blood
