Evil Doers

These are evil doers, men who live in the flesh
With their bombs to create only death
Who put society to the ultimate test
With their ongoing religious mess
These are evil doers
Men of hell fire
Who cannot control their destructive desire
Who use the Holy Book as a poisonous hook
These are evil doers who say Allahu Akbar
Yet their hearts are shattered clay jars
Who get their thrills in exploding cars
They continue to rage in the light of G-ds day
In salat they pray-
For their sinful bombing terrorist forays
It’s time to end their disruptive ways.
Allahu Akbar.

Photo by Samuel Aranda the winner of the World Press Photo of the Year 2011
A Personal note: I do not believe all Muslims are terrorists or Evil Doers, this work only deals with Islamic Fascism. I chose this photo from Samuel Aranda which shows a Muslim woman comforting a wounded Syrian Muslim in the on going civil war in Syria.

Please I chose this photo because of its gentle reminder not all Muslims are terrorists.

"Yet their hearts are shattered clay jars" gives a very powerful image and uses a metaphor at the same time, comparing hearts to brittle, broken jars. Nice use of figurative language!
