By: Cedric McClester A Muslim goes to pray At any mosque on any day Which is not meant to convey The things their critics have to say I don’t know if you’re aware Despite the way it may appear A mosque is just a house of prayer You’re not indoctrinated there So wasted time is being spent Looking at which mosque a terrorist went That don’t give you the slightest hint As to why he became so bent You are more likely to find The source that captured his warped mind Somewhere down the dial on line That’s how he became so blind Nowhere in Qu’ranic teaching Will you find what they are preaching It’s a matter of them reaching Their own ends while they are breeching Everything that Islam stands for Which put simply they ignore Though that’s the badge they wore While acting in ways Muslims abhor They can bastardize the text And baffle some folk’s intellects By ignoring the balances and checks That the Islamic religion projects And it’s easy enough to fall If there’s no foundation at all You might answer anyone’s call Who can reinterpret and enthrall Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2015.
