A Faceless Coward
Oh faceless coward, who attacked our lands
The blood of innocents is on your hands
A holy war you cry out, a jihad you say
I tell you this oh man, this is not God’s way
To cause fear and panic, to kill and to maim
Your hatred unleashed, and murder your aim
A people you thought you could vanquish your plan
You forgot we believe in the brotherhood of man
Listen long and listen hard, you cowardly tribe
To the sound of the brave, whom you cannot bribe
It will call out to the nations, and they shall arise
To fight injustice, intolerance, hatred and bias
This is the land of the free, it will never change
No matter the works of evil you might engage
The blood of the innocent covers your hands
You nameless coward who attacked our land
No life will be lost in vain, think not to come again
We shall not forget the lives lost or its torrid pain
No cowards in this nation here, nor bowing to fear
Your aim to destroy a people, caused us to draw near
Our faith renewed in our God, and one another
Hand to hand, heart to heart, sister and brother
We will feed your hungry and free your captive
For it is the love of our Lord that is the motive
This is quite an inspirational poem of patriotism fortified by righteous anger. Also, your use of language appropriate to the theme is effective in ehancing the flow and keeping the reader in the presentation from beginning to end. Fine sentiments strongly expressed!
