To A Terrorist

O ignorant fool out there, taking innocent lives
You ought to stop it all, before your turn too, arrives
Misinterpreting “Jihad” and giving it a wrong meaning
Spreading extremism and the youth you are misleading
You think you’ll get away with causing all the trouble?
Don’t be surprised when ultimately truth will burst your bubble
This world that you so dearly hold, is only an illusion
Your strife and toil to own it, is merely your delusion



You plan to wipe off other souls, by illicit tactics
You think you are supreme, thus carrying on with your tricks
The lust, the craze, to capture territories all around
Destroying the peace and harmony on this earth, on every ground
Have you ever asked yourself O terrorist, where you’ll end?
What will you be left with, only, right in the end?
Entangling different nations in wars with one another
Within a nation, training boys blow themselves up; with a thousand others
You think you’re so perfect and your plans are foolproof
That’s where you’re mistaken; from success you stand aloof
You cant live many a lifetimes, to enjoy what you make
Just think would you not age or die, would you not rot in your grave?
