Jihadi Vacation Day


Jihadi Vacation Day
Vacation day, they planned
the jihadi way.
 
Gather guns and kill away,
upon a Christmas party.
 
Well placed video cams,
worn upon their heads.
 
After the insanity, go home 
and post on YouTube lickity split..
 
Proclaim, they're heaven 
bound and saved, to all that day.
 
One small detail evade,
cops followed and delayed.
 
Live by the sword 
and die the same way.
 
Nothing goes as planned,
percieved valor ends in vain.
 
Nothing for them will be,
ever again, nor should be again.
 
Fools, folly imagined, that 
cops wouldn't shoot them, often.
 
What guarantee is there really? 
Pretty speeches align artfully.
 
What, pray tell, will they say 
to those killed most painfully?
 
For I sincerely believe, victims 
properly, mete out honest revenge.
 
Patiently served 
on the other end...
