Misguided Flight Path
Imagine, if you can,
Looking up from your desk,
Coffee cup still half full,
To see a beast roaring your way
Full of fire, hate and death,
All in the name of a God
So callous to life,
He loves to see such strife
What will be my last thought,
It's comin' up real quick,
No more to see my loved ones,
For some so very sick,
Who shall be the martyr?
Who is truely smarter,
If this should indeed be
your God's wish,
What evil berthed him,
Who was his mother who
had to push,
To bring forth hurt and pain,
Thousands of puddles of tears,
Thousands of new grown fears.
Many years till the dust might settle,
And replace our flagging mettle,
May God forgive us for what
we must now do,
Kill the many to catch the few.
