So Call Me a Terrorist

Empires have risen and exacted their might,
Words changed and twisted.
What once meant evil,
Had its meaning heisted.
So call me a terrorist.

You huff and you puff,
And you blow my house down.
You break my back,
But I still won't lie down.
So call me a terrorist.

You strike, torment and bully,
Just because she wears the veil?
You seem frustrated,
Seeing her faith isn't for sale.
So call me a terrorist. :rant:

Saw my brothers die across the sea today,
You said not to worry about the dead.
I can't seem to help the fact,
His cries keep ringing in my head.
So call me a terrorist.

You bribe me with gold, silver and green,
Promise me the moon and the sun.
I'd reject it in a heartbeat,
Just to be closer to the One.
So call me a terrorist.

Tears engulfed my mother's eyes,
As she painfully looked up at me.
To see her only son shackled and caged,
On display for the world to see.
So call me a terrorist.

You find me strange,
So that makes me a stranger.
Instead of glad tidings,
You salute me with danger.
So call me a terrorist.

I am weak,
You are strong.
I guess that makes you right,
And makes me wrong.
So call me a terrorist.

Call me wicked,
Call me a fundamentalist,
Call me ignorant,
Or even an extremist.

Bomb me with rains of fire,
Feed me your lies and poison.
Engulf and surround me,
In absolute destruction.

But I still ascend defiantly through the ash and detritus.
And when you see me emerge through clouds of smoke,
Raising up my tightly clenched fist,
Words may escape you,
So just call me a terrorist.
