Another Hero Dies

by Sandra Stoner-Mitchell

Is there an illness in humanity?
That some can act with such brutality?
Who takes a man whose only crime is peace?
And promise more unless reprisals cease.

But truth be known their violence will grow,
Each time we beg them, let our loved ones go.
American and British families,
Watch with dismay all these obscenities.

No one can stop this multiplying rot,
As round the world the terrorists still plot.
They tell us that all infidels must die;
And one more family is left to cry.

The sword has swung, there's nothing we can do,
Just pray to God that He will help us through.

We woke this morning to the news that another aid worker had been murdered. This war has nothing to do with religion.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
