Coming to Terms
What’s so radical
About misuse of a
term?
Words classical,
Once healthy, now
deadly germ.
Radical Islam is a
misnomer.
Its practice,
Koran pure.
So-called
moderates, the sarcoma,
The real radical
offers no cure.
Radical is not
Pure Islam.
Its principles, its
thought,
No peace, no balm.
Pure Islam is
Commitment,
conviction.
On infidels quiz
Belief, impose
affliction.
+++
The secular west
Did its best
To rid its root
Of Christian
fruit.
First in Europe
Began to stir up
Old convictions
Creating
frictions.
No need for
tradition
With the
Enlightenment mission
Of thinking the
rational,
Being one, killing the national.
Fluid thinking,
No principles
linking
To past truths.
The secular requires no proof.
+++
Pure Islam and the secular
In strange
alliance
Make
spectacular
A frightful compliance.
The secular so
blind
With no principles
at all
Must resign
With submission,
withal.
+++
"Radical," you see
Really are the "Moderate."
The rational and secular
plea
Have succumbed to the
pure threat.
Is it too late
To come to terms?
How long will the
secular wait
Before western
culture burns?
