The Terrorist

He is there, spreading his terror,
the world kneels to him, to his scourge
The other is in the minds,
taking the world to destruction's verge


There are two terrorists the world has sprout,
one is bombing within, and the other without


He likes to kill people, to destroy life
to serve his own nefarious means,
The other poisons the minds of all,
in a way none can hear the victim's screams.


There are two terrorists the world has sprout,
one is bombing within, and the other without


He can be stopped
by barriers, bullets and brawn
The other is entrenched so deeply in the psyche,
That away from it cannot be torn.


There are two terrorists the world has sprout,
one is bombing within, and the other without


He is the one we see
gun-toting, launching bombs, killing brothers
The other is invisible, unseen
and inspires Man to kill each other.


There are two terrorists the world has sprout,
one is bombing within, and the other without


Which one is more dangerous?
Which one is worse?
The other, my friend, has to be weeded out,
for it is the mankind's horrendous curse.


It is the hate, the hatred we harbour
We dont hear the heart's peaceful sound.
Stop the terrorist within, to kill the terrorist without
Seek the inner peace, if outer peace is to be found.
