IN HONOR

I was compelled to write this. This is not my usual style. Some may consider this controversial.


You tell me if your demands aren't met you are going to behead me
What kind of person are you with no conscious or morals?
When I came here I thought I would be helping people, see
I thought my presence here would make things right not foul.

Me, thinking everyone here would want to taste freedom so sweet
After being oppressed by a mad man for so many years, but it seems I was very wrong
When I cane here I had no idea my maker I would make
But according to you soon I will be singing death;s frightening song.

I'm not scared to die, I just worry about those I will leave behind
The heartache and sadness my loved ones will feel
You are a radical person, you are overbearing and unkind
But you know as well as I with terrorists my country will not deal.

You know as well as I your demands will never be met
What are you trying to prove how barbaric you really are?
You won't budge my country with your awful sadistic threats
No matter what you do to me, my country will make sure it's promises are kept.

Maybe you think your demands will justify my death
No one has the right to take a life, leaving the victim's loved ones behind in so much pain
In your twisted mind to justify your warped causes I will take my last breath
You are so sick to think by this you have anything to gain.

One sided, entirely lacking empathy and little to make up for it. If you want to make a point, then poetry is not your ideal medium. Oh! Barbarism!! Please.
