A Question Of Terror

'The only fear I know / the fear of my own mind / tor all the times I have rehearsed / the slaying of your kind.'

Can you please explain?

How an act of terror is defined.

A man battling an oppressor

Or oppression by a government.

Can you please define?

What you would call right and wrong

Perhaps the same old difference

Between weak and strong.

Do you understand?

That your life will never be the same,

That the rules have changed,

And those who hunted now are game!

With might you march and trample

What dissidents hold dear.

But your weakness and Achilles' heel

Is that you live in fear.

The only fear I know

The fear of my own mind

For all the times I have rehearsed

The slaying of your kind.
