To the Terrorists by Malky Gestetner,  student

 

What is the spilled blood

Of all our innocent

To you? You savor it

While we in pain, lament

 

What are the lives, destroyed

Of our children, slayed

To you, in your reveling

 

Is this for what you prayed?

 

Do you know what it wreaks

On us, to know that while

We yearned for lasting peace

You plotted out this trial?

 

A trail of death, Oh why?

Do you know the grief

That stains our splintered souls

And there is no relief?

 

What do you think we feel

To be so cruelly hated?

Is a monster all you see in us?

Is all your hatred fated?
