| One-time Floridian Moner Mohammad Abu-Salha, now a terrorist overseas. |
with families and friends who don't
have a clue why they, the girls and
boys they love, would choose
to travel halfway 'round the
world to piss somebody off.
That's why they do it, surely,
not to take up arms for such a cause
as terror. They want that culture?
Then perhaps their families should
be locked up, not tortured as they
would be in the places they've
adopted, but taken into custody,
their lives the kind of pawns they
should now understand, because
they had it pretty good, and even
if their lives sucked big time here,
a possibility, I'd bet a stack of
money that at night when
lying on the sand and rocks, the
lullaby of gunfire interfering with
their sleep, they wonder why the hell
they're there, they wonder what
their families are doing, what is
on TV tonight, and if they'll live
to see next week. They have a right
to go and fight against whoever,
but what tragedy to ever let them
walk our streets again, the freedom
that they took for granted and despised,
in operation as their treas'nous feet
walk into Walmart for a six-pack
they couldn't drink where they learned
to kill and dip their hands in blood.
