The Horror of San Bernardino

The Horror of San Bernardino
By Franklin Price

The horror of San Bernardino
With celebration in the air
A pair without good reason
Killed and wounded many there

No doubt the killers Muslim
Part of a rising trend
Must destroy the Muslim radicals
Bring this terror to an end

Can't wait another moment
Must come up with a plan
To stop other heartless killers
Make all efforts that we can

Must analyze the causes 
For the needless killing there
Must eliminate the reasons
Yet proceed somewhat with care

For not all Muslims radical
No matter what we think
The majority are innocents
Not all to terror linked

If we make the wrong decisions
And we target Muslims all
We'll worsen the conditions
Have nothing left to break the fall

The leaders of good Muslims
Must come out and make a stand
Condemn the killing radicals
Must help stop them we demand

If they don't soon stand up
Maybe I'm not thinking right
Maybe they are closet terrorists
Waiting to join a losing fight
