Letter to a Terrorist

One day
         our children will be taught
         of a man that we fought
         and killed
Destroyed
         made void by troops deployed
         by the country you hate
         and tried to decapitate
And they will laugh
         at your ignorance
         and ask
Did he think

Did you think
         you could stop us
Did you think
         the lives you stole
         only startled the whole
         though to Allah you prayed
         we would all stay afraid
         but though you broke our stride
         you increased our pride

Did you think
         you could hurt us
Did you think
         God favors the righteous
         if you believed this you might just
         have saved your own life
         now you're under the knife
         or the gun
         what's the difference when the day is done
         you'll be dead, we'll be here
         with little left to fear
         and your graveyard will be
         just a pile of debris
         like the buildings you shook
         and the lives that you took
         and you ponder where your
         savior is now

Did you think
         you could kill us
Did you think
         or was your turban too tight
         you momentarily lost sight
         of the height
         of our might
         and our passion to fight
         so explain to us your thinking
         were you drinking
         time is shrinking
         the life you chose to lead
         is about to make you bleed
         shrieking bombs will fill your ears
         like our eyes welled with tears
         as you wonder where your
         savior is now
