Shame of Arrogance
Terry in name of religion
Burned a book that wasn’t his’n
May he ever be reviled
By the country he’s defiled.
He knew well foul deeds would follow
By extremists just as shallow.
Our God and their’s (perhaps the same)
Weep at horror in their name.
Terry, untouched by our laws
Well may tremble just because
Judgment calls are not his biz.
God reminds us, those are his.
