The Terrorists In Us All

He stood there shaking, a gun to her head,
demanding a hefty ransom paid

two loud BANGS shook the crowd.
“hostage down!” but both were wounded
“finish him!” they chant like his life is worthless.

They wanted justice to be done.
But they couldn’t see
That they were just as worthless as he,
Just as evil as that sinful lad
Who told himself it was okay to slay another man.

That confused man was sorry for what he had done
But they never gave him a second chance.
