Life is an eroding cliff face Continually battered by ever rising tides What we knew ten years ago Is forever gone We stand, yes we stand Now into ever increasing violence and hatred We open our doors wide to the oppressed fleeing hatred And yet once here some, but only some Will stand on the soapbox of life Spreading their own form of hatred ISIL The modern form of ****** Oh yes For they have their own agenda for ethnic cleansing BUT HOW DO WE CHOOSE? Who to love, who to hate. We don't, we can't Because our sentimentality has let them into our midst Perhaps our children, great grandchildren Might learn the lessons
