ISIS

ISIS
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria
Cutting off heads
Killing men
Raping women
What is Islamic about that?
Why do people use religion as an excuse to be cruel to others?
Why are they here?
I think that it is a result of our cruelty to the Iraqis
Stealing their oil
Taking their incomes from 7000 to 700
Leaving many dead or dead broke
1 trillion dollars stolen for what?
So a peace we supposedly paid for could be stolen in days?
We seem to be in the business of creating terrorists
Terrorism is what we do to other countries and to our own people
Is ISIS bad?
Yes!
But so are we

About this poem:

I have been celebrating Halloween since September 15. I used to celebrate Halloween with ghosts, goblins, and werewolves. Now it seems I celebrate it with ISIS, politicans, and the police state.

ISIS are the result of social economic injustice in the Arab world, in the end America is only defending her interests in the region,shame on the greedy Arab leaders whose only goal is to fill their pocket with poor people money...

Plenty of people making money off the poor, and plenty of people making sure the poor never get out of their situation. My friend went to the dentist and tried to get some work done on his teeth. 17 of his teeth need attention, at a cost of over 18,000 dollars. So he has to live with the pain for a lack of money.

If you were there and I doubt that by your following statements (I was) then you would be able to answer your own questions. Is this what you call poetry???

I think that it is a result of our cruelty to the Iraqis

I was there during the war and after it, You go and ask the people which they preferred, before or after?? Then rewrite your so called poem.

I could write a book on this, having spent much time in the Middle East, but, then I would be dead before the ink dried!
