Timothy Emmons Poet Rhyme

Isis

THEY LIVE HERE AMONG US
THEY LIVE OVERSEAS
THEY HAVE RADICAL BELIEFS
THEY WANT US ON OUR KNEES

WHETHER AMERICAN OR JAPANESE
IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER
THESE RADICALS ARE HELL BENT
TO HAVE OUR HEADS ON A PLATTER

WHETHER CHRISTIAN OR BUDDHIST
YOU BETTER KEEP A KEEN EAR
ISIS ISN'T COMING 
THEY'RE ALREADY HERE

THEY ARE CRUEL AND BARBARIC
THEY CUT OFF A REPORTERS HEAD
THEY FILM THE WHOLE THING
JUST TO SHOW US HE IS DEAD

THE U.S. BETTER WAKE UP
AND DEAL WITH THIS THREAT
A 9-11 STYLE ATTACK IS COMING
ON THAT YOU CAN BET

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

akira artly October 7, 2026 at 8:23 AM I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : [email protected]
