On Fertile Ground
A gradual spread over time, hatred and strife germinate
a once nice terrain which now allows good and evil fornicate.
Extremism banks on an illiterate army to be the General
humanity suffers severely, awaiting its funeral.
Young boys, worse that adults in mind and attitude
begging to cock the gun, that's the magnitude.
Unfortunate worship to a god who hates bridges
creating men but putting their hearts in fridges.
Supposedly all powerful but needs human blood as shield
reportedly peaceful but is only relevant in a battle field.
On what is modern and stylish, this people form a panel
imposing cultural ways of an era of riding the camel.
Poverty stays as the popular camouflage
fanaticism, the root and rapidly gets large.
Kid's gloves, the poor response from its national leader
brick after brick, terrorism has more than one builder.
Sacred is the only way to treat human life
rubbished, it has been, placed on the edge of the knife.
Sympathy and support has made fertile the ground
Without ruthless repulsion, this evil will abound.
