Unbounded

for Malala Yousafzai A mere demigod won't do to feel the fear that a young woman, a little girl can put into a righteous man Horrific are the thinly educated some holy book might have related if thought of by the deity beforehand blessed be children, who can't understand Our darkness, it is a fearsome place but we must stay - our people, our race enlightenment is but for the chosen few but damn the rest and put them through pain and suffering of relentless disdain that reign supreme in divinity's domain the best offense is to be offended then violence reigns all ways, never ended Does sharia demand the murder of daughters? might not an education have gone further? influencing to follow leadership that bought her a meaningful way of life by a faithful observer Terrorism comes in many forms - always has and the sword of fear drones too from skies whether strangers or family, makes no matter when defending murder of innocents in the guise of knowing the will of life for another saying a child must die to prove righteous point and how they bring purpose and meaning to a terrorized life, with innocent blood anointing Would god demand that Abraham carry through killing his innocent son to prove his fear of God is god so insecure in the top most place that murder is the mandate for the true believer Murder begets little I think, in a universal nature but the continuation of the circled violence mere words don't justify spiritual killing in any nomenclature to bring us to some pursuit of spiritual deliverance © Goode Guy 2012-10-09 http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/10/09/162573135/taliban-say-they-shot-14-year-old-pakistani-girl-who-exposed-their-cruelty?ft=1&f=1001 http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/oct/10/malala-yousafzai-young-pakistani-heroine
