The Cycle Continues

My thoughts, on the past 2 days.

For their crimes

They got off

On the easy side.

Never having to

Justify their actions

Before a human court.

Or face

The surviving members

Of their victims' families.

As French forces

Have granted them

The only wish

They wanted.

Martyrdom

For the cause.

In becoming

The latest poster boys

To adorn

These hate filled

Websites.

Never realizing

Their actions have placed

Millions of innocent Muslim.

In the cross hairs

Of bigots

Looking for any reason

To kill or destroy them.

Believing themselves

To be doing

"God's work"

By their hateful actions

In attacking Muslims.

Except

They have furthered

This viscous circle

Of violence

Globally.

As children

Of the slain

Bear arms

Against their parent's

Murderer.

when i think of martyrs, my mind doesn't set on murderers...i think of those who die for a good cause---not kill in the name of God...

i really like the expression in this poem...those who perpetrated this did not deserve the easy way out, did not deserve to be remembered as martyrs..because the aren't---they have no rhyme or reason for what they did---and others lately who are committing all these acts of terror in the name of God...
what God would want this?

a brave poem here.

These words need to be said, Jacob, can't stay silent and let this continue, unabated. Sadly, these murderers believe they will be rewards, for their actions, like martyrs, for the cause.

Maybe they'd do better to stop measuring "it" and remember, "It is only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you realize there is always a non-violent solution." :D

That's assuming, the person doing the swatting, has male genitals, Momzilla.
