From far and wide
Black heart’s corrupt  
The world wailed and cried
Hate incarnate rising up

Innocent blood is spilled
No one is spared
Children slaughtered and killed
They obey what Satan’s dared

An unholy evil reigning terror
With mindless pawns
Zealot blinded to their error
And the faith it spawns

They have nothing to lose
They seek escape to heaven’s reward
Death is easy to choose
For life there is no regard

Forgive them, they know not what they do
Forgive them, they do not know You

You're getting into the area of very troublesome people and horrific acts, Lori. I can only say . . . Hooray!

If they give you ruled paper write sideways.

A sad situation.Has been for too many years.I am reading Gandhi and Churchill by Arthur Herman.The very beginning of the book brings up the early wars and unrest and the horrible killings. Randolph Churchill and then his son Winston. I have read a few other books about the Churchill family and Winston's American mother Jenny. Makes one wonder how history can be so easily changed. And again I mention Gertrude Bell (worth looking her up also who  mapped out Iraq). I love true stories that tell the history.
