Terrorist

Control and power that's its intention
Goodness is its mask, all a part of it deception
World domination its only desire
Its sweet alluring words, have never failed to inspire
Generations have heeded its false prayer
Confront it, or accuse it, no one would dare
They prey on the weak, and exploit the poor
Sweet talk their way in, Slam behind them the door
Instead of one step forward, they take 10 back
Any sign advancement they blindly attack
They say they protect the oppressed and meager 
When it comes to killing people, they are way too eager
They celebrate when they kill a single adversary
Even if his taken along with a hundred babies in a nursery
They have a warped sense of morality
All they comprehend is subjugation, and brutality
Why can't they be normal? Don't they have a sense of reality?
I'm also a Muslim its peace I believe
Can't understand how these people, the devil has deceived
I grasp that homeland needs to be defended
But not at the expense of my religion, it needs to be respected
One life taken, is as if all of humanity has been killed
There's no heaven for these murderous people, 
If even one innocents heart, they have stilled
It saddens me when I see, a mother cry, a child weep
All went shopping, their blood now flowing in the street
A grandfather's sadness, a husband's pain
Happiness and love, they'll never see again
They're bullies in a playground, blight on what's right
If ever I had the chance, I would shoot them on site
Against all that's good, these enemies of mankind, 
Not all Muslims are like them, wake up, and don’t be blind.
All faiths have the extremism cancer, Islam isn’t the only one…
The only way to beat them is if we RISE UP AS ONE!!!!

Such a beautiful written poem, Islam never allow us to kill innocent peoples, these terrorists don t have the right to be known as muslims because they aren t, they are just ruining our names. I like the message you are trying to convey through your poem, all muslims aren t terrarist, because of them people even fear grom muslim, they think that we ll kill them, anyway i want you to read my poems as well and tell me how they are

This poem really communicates how you view terrorism and you are right. You are against terrorism and you are a Muslim. People need to know all Muslims are not terrorists. Great write!

I agree, we have to stand forward and push back. The worlds not getting any better. A powerful poem and topic. I'm in wonder now. Are you an accomplished writer? You are an astonishing poet, giving your readers a feel of reality .... Hope to see you drop by my latest poem, I shall return if you'd like me to read more of your poems ... Linda

Thanks for the comment, I'm not really an accomplished writer. I've only written about 20 poems since 2009, some of the poems are from my own experiences while others I get inspired to write to try and make people feel empathy to the character in strife.
