Could Be Anywhere...

Wake Up Call

Wake up!  Evil hearted, small men
who breed, embrace, use terrorism.
Those who use force, fear, intimidation
to further selfish pride, evil ego.
All...everyone are guilty, doomed
from world class misguided zealots
to school yard bully boys
only difference, size of their toys.

Wake up!  If you employ terror
to get, impose your unwanted way
bully, brute force to force others
to submit to that which you desire...
You then, my deceived brother
are the same as any other; yes, you.
Think of this, my once named friend
as you raise your mighty fist.

Wake up! What lies in your heart
is evil, same as those you disdain.
Can’t you see it? Wake up!
You are the terrorist, you condemn.
Your family, friends, loved ones
wait, pray for your awakening...
Lay down your tools of terror, my friend
be reborn into the light of love!

Yep, it all begins in the heart. Very well expressed, Daniel.

Thnaks for the input, Rae and Denise!
Wanted to illustrate that those who
are running around waving flags and
yelling about crushing terrorism...
perhaps should take a look in their
own mirrors...look at the bruises on
their "loved ones", or their displays
at T ball games, or how they treat
someone who cuts them off on the highway...
Is there any real difference?  Tough
subject most are not going to want to
examine, eh?

Oh you are so right.  Kindness and gentleness start at home. In your neighborhood, in your own country and only then will spead to the world.  Great poem.  Joyce
