Terrorism is not Good

They set up in a commune,
an apartment or a nasty house.
Friendship motivates, sex motivates them.
It can't be money.
I don't see want ads for "terrorist."
There's a cause to identify with.
They crave the excitement.
They're thrill seekers.
Exploding themselves is not a big worry.
Al Qaeda summarizes it with Allah.
Some target worry puts them all
on top of one another.
"I'm not going to starve for big business,"
the voice screams.
This new self-worth makes them so so important!
I thought "arrogant" was a word I could control reality with.
They're going blindly,
they're screaming blindly.
At nothing, yet motivated by something.
They stick together.
There's a camaraderie even.
No--they're working toward an overwhelming question.
It must overwhelm them.
Goodness desires good behavior.
Appropriate, socially acceptable behavior is the norm.
Homeland security, law enforcement exist.
They can be so crazy in that lawlessness,
such that people doubt goodness will win out.
Will it?
