Analysis of Terror In The Name Of God
Terror in the name of God is perniciousness.
Religious horror is odd
and maliciousness.
Mayhem in the name of God is convolution.
Violent thinking is slipshod
causing confusion.
Evil in the name of God is contradiction.
Such behavior will defraud
from wrong conviction.
Murder in the name of God is absurdity.
Basic premises are flawed:
paths of tragedy.
Tumult in the name of God is indecency.
Belief systems that applaud
lack propriety.
Hatred in the name of God is sheer dissonance.
Hypocritical facade
becomes impudence.
