By: Cedric McClester They are not the terrorists They’re the terrorized Yet they are the ones We’ve chosen to ostracize Everyday they’re looking Death squarely in the eyes And yet we haven’t Taken the time to realize They are not the terrorist They’re just frightened people The majority of which Are perfectly peaceful And are in no way Trying to be deceitful Why can’t we treat them Simply as our equals They are not the terrorists Though we like to pretend That they’re all hell-bent On bringing about our end If we keep the Syrians out That’s the message we send And we’re no longer a nation That I can comprehend They are not the terrorists They’re just their victims Is it their fault that Most were not born Christians What kind of reason is that To keep them at a distance Because of some politician's Constant insistance Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2015.  All rights reserved.
