Terrorists
They come in many sizes many shapes and forms
With righteous indignation they have “truth” and norms
You must conform to their way they have the only path
Self-appointed zealotry comes with fear and wrath
They will stop at nothing to make their presence felt
These chosen ones of infamy claim to be heaven sent
What is their motivation what justifies their harming
They won’t engage in dialogue or provide any warning
They strike at the innocents selfish sleeping snakes
Without a sense of consequence nothing to forsake
They come in many sizes many shapes and forms
They do it all in god’s name they have “truth” and norms
Who are they among you creating fear in others
They terrorize and then destroy their sisters and brothers
What do you do that emulates their twisted way of being
What actions do you sometimes take without truly seeing
Terror can be many things when received by another
Be mindful what you do or say it impacts one another
The lesson that is here for you that you can take away
Is how you might change your life from day to day to day
Although your own reaction may be to strike and burn
I suggest be slow and still first other cheek do turn
Time will provide direction a proper course to take
Let vengeful thoughts be quiet act without mistake
Let this lesson teach you to be simple clean
More human in your bearing project your powerful dream
Get even through your being not what you hate in them
Model and embody what you admire then
Smile quietly and strongly in silence to yourself
Sleep softly and sweetly let your presence be felt
Grow fiercer in your resolve what you came here for
Allow yourself a deepening pride understanding heaven’s door
Can you think of anyone in your life who acts like a terrorist?
In what ways do they have you terrorized and held hostage?
Are there ways in which you hold others hostage through your acts of terror?
How might you change that?
