whether
the butchers
knife
or a speeding
train comes by
death where is thy sting
she let out a mournful cry
born to live and live to die
living on earth searching for
virgins in a heaven
in the sky
is he a shop keeper
that you kill innocent people
maiden to you as reward
he must supply
here the unborn child
buried under
the debris of hate
let out a sigh
we create children
access to better living
we deny
destroying the peace
on earth by hook and lie
misplaced martyrdom
suicide bombers
that rogue preachers
sell and buy
scriptures tainted in blood
when bombed mosques
keep asking why?
bleeding skull caps
muslims love killing muslims
to get a high
