I know we have more in common than not
We only differ in how we were taught.
You were taught by Mohammed
Us by Jesus Christ.
Both taught of virtue
Both warned of vice.
We both agree that the God of Israel
Is our God, too.
So why is it that we both distrust the Jews?
Good question! Meant to confuse?
So, what is there that is similar
Between you and me?
For beginners:
Our leaders can be corrupt.
Our brothers can be perverse.
Our sisters can be deceitful and loose.
And then, on a more positive note:
Our fathers died for our causes and
Our mothers cry for their losses.
So, here is what I think is true,
And I will put my rhyme aside.
There is much about the west
That all of us detest.
The filth so openly displayed
Is historically out of control.
Child abuse and pornography
Being the worst.
I can understand, from your side of the world
How disgusting you must think we are
When you see our movies and internet flaws.
But let's get real together.
The insatiable carnal pleasures of men
Exist in both the east and the west.
Perversion and corruption
Have preceded the demise
Of more than one great nation.
Are yours and mine next?
You have your sinners and saints
And we do, too.
Here is what I suspect we have shared
For many hundreds of years:
I believe we are both puppets
Poised to do destruction
By the Royal Rulers
Of power, profit and gain.
They're greedy and disgusting
They lie, murder, and steal.
They don't care about you or me.
They promote the hate we feel
From their fancy yachts
And mansions on high.
They give us drugs and alcohol
And tons of baubles at the mall
To lull, numb, and enthrall.
For you they twist the teachings of your Prophet
Creating devastating wars for their Profit.
The War Machine of men
Is a good business to invest in,
If you have NO HEART!
Dear Brother Jihad:
Please join me and stand for Peace.
Let's help each other rebuild our sanity.
Let's put aside our pride and intellectual vanity.
Let us stop murdering each others families.
Let us stop listening to the Royal Rulers LIES.
Is there no hope for compassion for each other?
Are we not, in TRUTH, sisters and brothers?
