GLORY AND HONOR

(A letter to the terrorist)

Where is there glory

In this suicidal savagery?

Where is there honor

In that bombing horror?

How is there glory 

If killing is your only duty?

How is there honor

If you want harm for the other?

Why is there glory 

By making misery a certainty?

Why is there honor

By bringing tears and hunger?

Yet, if you seek true glory,

Find it in truth and beauty.

If you strive for real honor,

Let goodness be the governor.

You'll see pure glory

In freedom and equality,

And find the highest honor

In justice - your new master.
