To listen to the apologists
for evil, they have become
evil themselves, with excuses,
doublespeak, and out and out
lies; all the lies they tell,
these will come back
for them, like terrorists
(for every lie
is a terrorist
killing truth)
--these apologists
for evil will be visited
by evil, they will know
what they've done
as they drink tea
or coffee, as they sit
in their homes
with the doors exploding
letting in the terror
and war cries
celebrating death, the terrorists
with faces covered,
with their guns
& holy books,
with their conviction
in their beliefs,
their absolute conviction
in the order of life
they adhere to, with
their absolute conviction
and belief in killing anyone
who stands in their
way--
