Xenophobia
Who wants to think
Of hate that stinks?
Not us but them
Till bomb bursts dam
In a mad fling
Wild shooting springs
Fear in swift flow
Now crusades blows
The world comes round
To taunt home grounds
Violence now curls
As terror hurls
In our backdrop
Extreme views crop
What starts alone
Can blast our cone
In a mad flash
Destructive crash
Why us you ask?
Terror now basks
If you but see
Hate's killing spree
Be willing now
Know why and how?
No one is safe
Yet live most brave
Violence destroys
On any soil
Live well each day
Prey less yet pray
Be willing still
To forge bold will
Let intent clear
Deal with odd fear
Terror knows well
Hate's empty shell
Truth can be harsh
In this wild marsh
The world awakes
To violent shakes
Why us you ask?
Terror yields husk
