Isis Must Fall

I watched the news today
What I saw took my breath away
I felt anger like never before
Like it was personal, felt the need to level the score.

Innocent men, captured, their freedom taken away
Held to ransom, for what? Financial gain? 
No to cause their loved ones hurt and pain!
3 men brutally attacked 
By an IS coward wearing a mask!

Apparently speaking with a British accent, you beheaded a fellow Briton, the ultimate dissent!
In Syria to deliver humanitarian aid
The man was there a matter of days!

Young recruits leaving our shores to fight for the jihadi cause
Great let's round them up and send them all, to answer the IS rallying call 
Wipe them out and watch them fall!

Brainwashed in our very towns, by grown men preaching in their  'sacred' gowns
Over the internet to masses worldwide, is this a dilemma? 
I'll let you decide.

How much more will it take, to put immediate action into place?
Another religious war based on hate of the entire human race!

Hi William, great passion! just don't agree....not personal....our gov't has killed over a 100 thousand innocent men, women and children in the Middle East over the last 15 yrs. Have you seen the brutal scraps of humans after the "Shock & Awe" we dropped on Baghdad yrs ago?....of course not, our controlled press would not allow it... makes the be-headings look like childs-play....
