Well, Carolyn, you are right about that, we sometimes choose the wrong path. In the case of your poem, the innocent suffer. We must pray for the terrorists. It is the only thing that will help! :>D Miss Sally

Hi, Carolyn.

You have made strong social commentary here. Excellent word economy in this well-penned write.

I loved the first line. It's creative and impacting. Strong word choices make it more appealing, aided by striking presentation with red background(denoting blood and evil) and white font(the innocent lives).

Warped motivation

terror-driven cowards thrive

Brain-washed murderers

Superb use of R consonance in all the three lines. It's sad and horrifying to see how those people are causing so much harm to everyone.

Regards,
Anupam

Hi there Anupam,
It is sad, for both sides, some mother somewhere must grieve so for the loss of their terrorist sons. The innocent suffer in many ways.
I appreciate your fine comments.

Brain-washed and terror driven, that's for sure. It's beyond me how those people could think God would condone them murdering unarmed people like that. Martyr, my foot--I think it may be hot where they're going.

thank you Sam for your insightful comments. The martyrs are more than likely the hostages they killed. Carolyn

terror-driven cowards - add the hyphen
your poem is in excellent 5/7/5 syllable count
you capture so well how such people make a tragic, misguided, warped choice to murder others as some sort of revenge for the wrongs they believe they as a people have experienced

It takes a long time for the teachings of generations to change. Terrorists learn from many places, many ideas. I hope we have enough time to teach the new generations that peace is better.
Well done.

I think Jesus was saying 'I will always have time for little kids, and if you don't become like one of them (innocent, loving,trusting, obeying, wanting to please) you won't inherit the kingdom of God. A great example to us adults.... I pray also for change in our world. Thank you misscookie. Love, Carolyn
