Perfect Justice Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

The boy donned his explosive vest
He had been brainwashed by the best
He was convinced by suicide
he’d be a martyr. Cause for pride

to all is friends and family
Too ignorant to question why.
His teacher was apparently
quite content to let others die.

When he himself was not prepared.
His life too precious to be spared
Though advocating suicide.
These evil men are satisfied.

Persuading naïve boys to die.
Although they are aware they lie.
The boys mere weapons for their use
The ultimate of child abuse.

Fortunately this boy was saved
the mechanism misbehaved
The bomb refused to detonate
A martyr’s death was not his fate.

The boy had been prepared to die
But now began to question why.
Allah refused his sacrifice.
Denied the promised paradise

Now honest clerics must explain
and re-interpret once again
The lessons which had been mistaught.
By priests who knowingly distort.

The laws laid down the in the Koran
to be observed by every man
which wicked men choose to defy.
Though they will answer when the die.

To Allah the compassionate
The burning lakes of fire wait
Though they repent it is too late
Their wickedness has sealed their fate.

The foolish boys they led astray
sure to be judged a different way.
By Allah the all merciful
The ways of god are wonderful.
