Notice
I place an ear
on the belly of this moment
I hear wailing
I place it on
another moment
– the same!
– Sinan Antoon, Iraqi poet

So, we must ask ourselves, what is the dictionary definition of
“terrorism”?
The systematic use of terror especially as a means of
coercion.But what is “terror”?
According to the dictionary I hold in my hand,
terror is violent or destructive acts such as bombing committed by groups in
order to intimidate a population, or government into granting their
demands.So, what’s a terrorist?
They’re calling me a terrorist
Like they don’t know who the terror
is
When they put it on me, I tell them this
I’m all about peace and
love
They calling me a terrorist
Like they don’t know who the terror
is
Insulting my intelligence
Oh how these people judge…It seems like the Rag-heads and Pakis are worrying your dad
But your dad’s
favorite food is curry and kebab
It’s funny, but it’s sad how they make your
mummy hurry with her bags
Rather read The Sun than study all the
facts
Tell me, what’s the bigger threat to human society
BAE Systems or
home made IED’s
Remote controlled drones, killing off human lives
Or man
with home made bomb committing suicide
I know you were terrified when you saw
the towers fall
It’s all terror but some forms are more powerful
It seems
nuts, how could there be such agony
When more Israelis die from peanut
allergies
It’s like the definition didn’t ever exist
I guess it’s all just
depending who your nemesis is
Irrelevant how eloquent the rhetoric peddlar
is
They’re telling fibs, now tell us who the real terrorist isThey’re calling me a terrorist
Like they don’t know who the terror
is
When they put it on me, I tell them this
I’m all about peace and
love
They calling me a terrorist
Like they don’t know who the terror
is
Insulting my intelligence
Oh how these people judge…Lumumba was democracy – Mossadegh was democracy
Allende was democracy –
Hypocrisy it bothers me
Call you terrorists if you don’t wanna be a
colony
We used to bow down to a policy of robbery
Is terrorism my
lyrics?
When more Vietnam vets kill themselves after the war than died in
it?
This is very basic…One nation in the world has over a thousand military bases
They say it’s
religion, when clearly it isn’t
It’s not just Muslims that oppose your
imperialism
Is Hugo Chavez a Muslim? Nah.. I didn’t think so
Is Castro a
Muslim? Nah.. I didn’t think so
It’s like the definition didn’t ever
exist
I guess it’s all just depending who your nemesis is
Irrelevant how
eloquent the rhetoric peddlar is
They’re telling fibs, now tell us who the
terrorist isThey’re calling me a terrorist
Like they don’t know who the terror
is
When they put it on me, I tell them this
I’m all about peace and
love
They calling me a terrorist
Like they don’t know who the terror
is
Insulting my intelligence
Oh how these people judge…You think that I don’t know,
But I know, I know, I know
You think that
we don’t know
But we knowYou think that I don’t know,
But I know, I know, I know
You think that
we don’t know
But we DOWas Building 7 terrorism?
Was nanothermite terrorism?
Diego Garcia was
terrorism,
I am conscious the Contras was terrorism,
Phosphorous that
burns hands – that is terrorism,
Irgun and Stern Gang that was
terrorism,
What they did in Hiroshima was terrorism,
What they did in
Fallujah was terrorism,
Mandela ANC – that was terrorism,
Jerry Adams IRA
– that was terrorism,
Eric Prince black water – it was
terrorism,
Oklahoma, McVeigh – that was terrorism,
Everyday USA – that is
terrorism,
Everyday UK – that is terrorism.Everyday…

Couple of thoughts.
It is all in the eye of the beholder.
It depends on whose Ox is getting gored.
