Terror Go To France

About Isis

And Al Qaeda

The news says this: 

Paris attack

These townspeople

Office ransack

They killed twelve men

Charlie Hebdo

Holding his pen 

Written lampoons

These brothers two

Hate their cartoons

Dress in war gear

These two baboons

Spread dread and fear 

With Yemen skill

And Allah chants

They maim and kill

Each infidel

From western world

Blast them to hell 

Please hear our call

Al Qaeda foal

Love conquers all

So since Content is the meaning or message contained in the poem, as distinct from its appearance, form or style.

What is the Content in Poem, “Terror Go to France”?  In a reflective mode, the persona in this poem has responded in verse to the attack on the people in the Capitol of France who on January 8, 2015 were besieged by terrorist who kowtow to the dictates of Al Qaeda in Yemen in the Arabian Peninsula and Isis. As activities revealed, their goal is the utter destruction of Western Civilization and way of life and set up their caliphate in the name of their god as their behavior reveals. What an impossible goal? Do they think the Western World will lie down and be intimidated by their intolerant behavior? They have got to be delusional. Human beings were created free moral agents not slaves. In an enlightened and tolerant world, terror will never reign supreme.
