The Bonus Word For The Day Is 'Terrorism'!

by Jersey D Gibson

You hear it everywhere around you,
like your name from far off.
Clap your hands and shout
at the mention of this bonus word!
Some 'Muslim extremist' didn't blow up
the Columbia but there's still a possibility.
Some idiot with a bomb on his back
makes life so much more intresting for us.

Ask an Israeli what terrorism is,
and he points straight at Palistine.
(Ask a Palistinian
and he points right back.)
Pictures of babies dead and random limbs
all contribute to the propeganda terrorism, I mean war.
Terrorism is a disease,
and Bush thinks he's the cure.

But all terrorists are cowards, aren't they?
for they probably live in Iraq or Cuba or France.
And those darn opposing countries in the U.N.
never felt the scales of terrorism tipped on them.
If it wasn't for us, France would be Germany,
and Russia would be, too.
Every terrorist is clamoring for America's red flower,
or at least a simple dirty bomb.

Taken from an Encarta Dictionary, c. 2002

War - /wawr/ (noun & verb) Armed fighting between groups an armed conflict between countries or groups that involves killing and destruction

Terrorism - /terra rizzem/ (noun) violence or the threat of violence, especially bombing, kidnapping, and assassination, carried out for political purposes or reasons.

Good rant and some good lines in this. Especially the part about Israel and Palestine. Some parts though oversimplify and very complex issue, as with the French and Germans. Drop the dictionary and open your history book to WWII.

Great piece here. You hit the nail right on the head...terrorists are cowards! That's why none of them live to face the consequences for their actions. They don't go to paradise, they go to hell. As for Bin Laden, etc. Why don't they strap up and fly a plane into oblivion, or suicide bomb...because they value their life, and they are cowards!!! Provocative writing Jersey, Excellent.
