An Unnescesarily Terrible, Terror-Filled Time

The question with ISIS is typically why’s this happening to our civilisation?

but maybe we should also question our ‘civil’ nation,

and what’s being reported by our TV/radio stations as ‘world news’, 
I don’t know if it’s just me that’s a little confused,

are Beirut and Baghdad not part of the world?

should we not pay respects to Syrian and Iraqi boys and girls,

and men and women that have lost their lives?

this is a despicable conflict, but fault lies on both sides,

it’s important to remember that part,

if you do ever consider making remarks,

that the whole Middle East is a cesspit,

or that the ideology of Islam is reflected,

in the acts of a group of fundamentalist murderers,

who think the only way of dealing with their issues is to come here and murder us,

these acts are disgusting, but what’s disgusting too,

are our civilian murdering drones that never make the news,

the West is far from faultless in this series of events,

just like what we did in Iraq was not seriously an act of defence,

those civilians are people too, people like me, people like you,

and these people are living in fear of terrorist acts,

except their’s come in the form of unmanned drone attacks,

by all means change your Facebook pictures,

but more importantly seek the facts and forget the fictions,

even if within those facts there are contradictions,

of the pre existing beliefs that you hold so concrete,

while a veneer of niceness only disguises the prejudices underneath,

so as you’re thinking of those in Paris who lost their lives,

also think of the Syrians praying each day that they, may survive,

and all the other innocent people of the world caught up in the fighting,

just make sure you keep asking what do these fights bring?
