The Caliphate

The Caliphate 
 Let us think the unthinkable 
Let ISIS have their caliphate and be a state
The Zionists took Palestine and called it Israel
Europeans settlers killed off the Indians 
And now it is called USA. 

The brutalities and horror  from ISIS is terrible
But from an historic perspective 
Worst things have happened and will again it is 
The human burden to kill for its own sake and
Greed for land

In time, it will be a state with institutions they can
Practise their Sharia law and behave like the Saudis 
We will buy their oil and they will leave us alone
To practice our odd democracy
