Isis

You can behead an unarmed man
You can rape a defenseless woman
You can blow up an innocent child

You can burn a book, or 1000's
Attempt to erase history
Spit on the culture of mankind

Here is what you will never do
You will never catch Charlie Brown
Or behead Allah the almighty

You are an army
Of no hearts
Of no heads

The army of the evil living dead

Jill Spagnola Date: 5/2/2015 8:14:00 PM Brilliant! A wise man wrote that our biggest fear should be of a 'pure' believer in their religion. Religous people scare me. Jill Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 5/2/2015 10:22:00 PM Thank you, the weakness in any organization, is less the belief and more the man, we as humans are flawed, made up of good and evil, no matter the religion, a good heart is always a good heart!

Robert Lindley Date: 3/18/2015 8:32:00 AM Great write on a hard subject. The problem is that ISIS REPRESENTS THE HARD SIDE OF ISLAM AND ARE TRUE TO THAT WHICH THEY BELIEVE.. Yet what decent person can condone what they do? Murdering innocent men , women and children... No cause, no religion can justify such evil deeds. Such evil must be stamped out by any means possible.. A7 and great write my friend.. Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 3/21/2015 6:46:00 PM Thank you Robert, I agree, hopefully we can do this more so with words, maybe dreaming, but words do have the power to change minds, if enough care!

Kp Nunez Date: 3/18/2015 6:53:00 AM I see you are back to where you excel...writing on a not so easy subject. Recently another poet, Anne-Lise, wrote on what causes war. I said one other cause which has not been mentioned is the greed of a few which fed on the blind obedience and emotions of many followers. I still maintain that stand. ISIS is one example. This is an excellent piece. May your tribe of courageous writers increase. A 7 and a fav! KIM Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 3/21/2015 6:43:00 PM Thank you Kim, I am greedy, but have yet to start a war! LOL I have written many poems on such topics, is not only ISIS, Islam is going through a trying time, much like the Christian crusades, is sad we HUMANS do not always learn from our shared history. I say this because the only way to solve a problem, is to face the problem, I hope more will do so soon!

Fadi Mathew Date: 3/18/2015 5:33:00 AM ISIS represents the devil themselves, and thankfully this fact is growing clearer day by day. A 7..

S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri Date: 3/16/2015 12:53:00 AM U are right poet, Isis are trying to behead Islam and Allah but wont succeed. They have nothing to do with Islam since Reading and hearing the news I learnt of authentic reports how the ISIS plan to destroy the Holy Kaabah in Mecca which ALL MUSLIMS FACE FOR PRAYER. Then also how European whites who are pretend converts are recruiting to ISIS just to misrepresent Muslims and give them a black name by doing blackest of deeds. Login to Reply S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri Date: 3/16/2015 1:08:00 PM Dear paI i and many muslims find Islam perfect and I have seen even non Muslims call it an ideal or best religion for mankind. We muslims say that because we found faults with all other religions and couldn't find any with Islam. Even christianity was an impeccable religion meant for the jews only for a time but now has been adulterated and altered. Islam doesn't justify hate. And thats why all muslims are loving and kind unless they are on some revenge agenda which many times becomes totally unIslamic if the perpetrators and offenders punished are innocents. Islam allows revenge and self defence. Take care. S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri Date: 3/16/2015 5:07:00 AM Nah Islam has no illness. Isis is a foreign strategy of sickness. It has nothing to do with Islam. Thats why Israel too recently supported ISIS militarily. I wil not be fooled. Islam is the only perfect religion i know today. Arthur Vaso Date: 3/16/2015 1:00:00 AM The problem has nothing to do with European whites, ISIS brainwashes a few mentally slow children, many of them non white, and already Muslims, Islam has an illness, and until people like you see the problem comes from within, and face it, the evil will never be stopped.
