Isis Not the Nicest

ISIS not the Nicest What can be worse than evil unless it is the devil He who causes heads to lie on an anvil Or be completely cut off in mid-air; About any of this, what could possibly be fair? Life laid aside by being so brutally struck Whose whole life was now out of luck So said and will we ever know why By hands of a beast, he would have to die. Now an American died who was mis-placed His problems at home could not be faced; How much longer will all of this last Until it finally becomes part of the past.

Jim, You have seen my poem on ISIS as I submitted it last month. I share your sentiments. When all else fails, we poets must act as the world's conscience. Our poetry brethren should not shrink from writing on sometimes difficult and not too pleasant of topics. If not, why the hell are any of us writing?? The reality of situations in life, I believe, expects talented writers and artists to examine the full gambit of issues and problems that affect the moral fiber of our world society. --Gary

Poets are conscious eye, ear, nose and throat specialists with a tremendous conscience for what is going on and happening. There is much proof in the pudding of what you just said. Jim Horn PS. Hope not over 400 characters.

This will Last a thousand more years, it has already gone on for 2,000, in their minds you are an Infidel, and all Infidels must die, and they mean every word, it will only become part of the past at Armageddon, and now we have an african american fighting as an ISIS Terrorist Bastard and now killed, what a fool he was! So buckle up, it aint over! And to Poet Destroyer, your comment was really sick, at least the way it was made, just my take! Robert

Bob, My comment I made to voyeur destroyer also applies to you. At one point in time the only infidel I knew has a last name of Castro. My how times have changed. Jim Horn

This is ISIS's idea of being cut off from society of rom your family. Only they took it literally. Now that they are in over their heads, they think that by beheading they will arouse more curiosity which is more like becoming a monstrosity causing blood to flow from a low, thin viscosity.
