Isis

SOS my ship has been boarded
Takin on by those who are sordid

It still carries our flag
They also have a hag

One that knows whitchcraft and sorcery
Appearing as our own
They carry our embroidery
And are made not of flesh and bone

But are the sons of him the other
They will look like a brother
Trickery and deceit are their marks,
Trust them not, neither they nor their larks

I fear that one day when push comes to shove
All this ISIS fuss
Is putting on the stand my religion, my love
What if they come to be known as us

SOS my ship has been boarded
Takin on by those who are sordid

We speak of honour, peace, equality for all men
They would not even respect a hen

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
