A message to 'Islamic State'



How can you hope to earn respect
when your force your religion with weapons
you scaremonger the people
driving christians out in their millions.

Heads line the streets on spikes
 corpses rot in the roads
a stark reminder of innocents slaughtered
as you brain wash your youth to execute, murder.

You twist Muhammad's words
butcher all who stand in your way,
rape and defile young women and girls
make them slaves 'till the end of their days.

You disrespect the prophets
you say it's the will of God
the God I worship is merciful
spreading harmony, peace and love.

I refuse to let you take me alive
I will fight to the death, 'till my very last breath,
and I pray the bullet from my gun
will send you to hell where you belong.

Who are you to dictate, to crush my people's beliefs,
only God can judge us for our choices and our deeds
you've broken God's commandments
now you must face his wrath.

Judgement awaits to decide your fate.
