Crazy Fanaticism

In northwestern Iraq
The ongoing violence with ISIS
Is affecting the Yazidi people.
What a horrible crisis!

The dogmatic ISIS jihadists
Have shockingly indicated
That the Yazidi Kurds
Should be annihilated

For being devil worshippers,
Which shows the jihadists' immense
Lack of understanding
And lack of common sense.

If Yazidi men don't convert,
They are killed on the spot.
So they have to flee for their safety
In order to avoid being shot.

This horrible religious fanaticism
Has frighteningly increased
Worldwide and isn't limited
To groups in the Middle East.

We shouldn't feel complacent;
We must also address
The problem of religious fanaticism
Here in the good ol' U.S.

Our religious fanatics,
Under the guise of doing "good,"
Aren't wiping out villages,
But frankly, some would if they could.
