Tourist Or Terrorist

Tourist or Terrorist
Is your flight for fight or sight?
Naughty at night… lovely in light
Some thread to tend and some to twist!

Tourist or terrorists
Have you come to cleave or cage?
Are you here to enroll or enrage?
People like priests… I fear your fist.

I try not to think about! I figure when God calls my name then that's that! But you never know do you? Watch their eyes, the mirrors to the soul!!

A deep write with the question on most American lips - friends or foes.
