    Portrait of a Terrorist

    In every race and every faith
    His portrait is the same
    Disdainful of the human life
    And Freedom he may claim
    Vengeful, resentful, with no cause
    Fetching scapegoats to blame
    Totally blind to Right and Truth
    And has no sense of shame

    He's void of common sense to know
    His acts are sheer bold crime
    He lives like bats, and moves like snakes
    Detached from Faith and Time
    A prisoner of his dreams and thoughts
    That are not worth a dime
    He lacks the will to win a life
    Successful and sublime

    His menace spares no helpless child
    Or a woman, far or near
    He's an outcast to human race
    Dispersing death and fear
    He hails martyrdom, what a joke!
    While Heaven's road is clear
    Be human, honest, true and pure
    And care for others, dear.
