A Faceless Coward

By SusieQT

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Oh faceless coward, who attacked our lands The blood of innocents is on your hands A holy war you cry out, a jihad you say I tell you this oh man, this is not God’s way To cause fear and panic, to kill and to maim Your hatred unleashed, and murder your aim A people you thought you could vanquish your plan You forgot we believe in the brotherhood of man Listen long and listen hard, you cowardly tribe To the sound of the brave, whom you cannot bribe It will call out to the nations, and they shall arise To fight injustice, intolerance, hatred and bias This is the land of the free, it will never change No matter the works of evil you might engage The blood of the innocent covers your hands You nameless coward who attacked our land No life will be lost in vain, think not to come again We shall not forget the lives lost or its torrid pain No cowards in this nation here, nor bowing to fear Your aim to destroy a people, caused us to draw near Our faith renewed in our God, and one another Hand to hand, heart to heart, sister and brother We will feed your hungry and free your captive For it is the love of our Lord that is the motive By Susie Poling (c) 2001 Written November 10th, 2001 © on Nov 10 2001 07:35 AM PST   10 • 0 • 1
