Letters: Dying is easy

Terrorists can bomb every five star hotel in town You can stoop so low that you might even drown In your pathetic and futile rivers of blood But stemming the flow will just cause a flood You've done it before and you'll do it again Whether it's 9/11 or nine out of ten Dying is easy, it's the living that's tough When will you realize that enough is enough? A thin veil of religion keeps your conscience at bay But nobody cares in which direction you pray Your compass points west and there's a chip on both shoulders But there is no place in Islam for Allah's new soldiers Steve Seoul
