Dear ISIL Girls... Really?

Had a recent spate of random terrorist attacks - 

Soldiers killed in Canada; a nut case with an axe -

ISIL doesn't know their names, and neither do they care;

Without even common ideologies they share.

It sure isn't Islam that these idiots fight for,

Nor is it for territory on some foreign shore,

Nor is it for human rights or common decency;

Only thing in common is barbaric lunacy.

ISIL's p.r. makes their war with Syrians and Kurds

Look as if it might be fun for Call of Duty nerds;

Guys who live in mother's basement and do not have friends,

Open to the nihilistic message ISIL sends.

What I do not understand, however, are the girls.

Knowing that these guys are rapists, murderers, and churls;

Holding females in contempt and selling them as slaves,

Why on earth would women choose to join them in their graves?

Dear ISIS... You Wanted Our Attention?

ISIS sent a "Message to America" last night;

Murdering a journalist - a sad and gruesome sight.

Foley's from New Hampshire, it's my next-door neighbor state.

Prayers go out to those impacted by this act of hate.

As for ISIS members... Guys; your message is received.

Thought you'd like our full attention?  That's what you believed?

Wanted us to notice when the A.Q.A.P.* guys

(They're the ones with plastic bombs) signed up with you? Surprise!

Although we've been thinking we should put a stop to you

You've just made it likelier that that is what we'll do.

You've been getting beaten by our air and drone attack?

What you guys may not have known is - we've been holding back.

All you've done is make us angry.  Trust me when I say

You won't like it when we're angry. You will rue the day

You got the attention of the whole United States

Who'd now like to see you bastards' heads served up on plates.

China's Very, Very Bad Idea

China's one child policy has put them in a bind;

Men are learning that a bride is very hard to find

When so many parents pinned their hopes upon a boy.

Didn't value baby girls; an unsuccessful ploy.

Yes, the population's down but it is getting old.

Seems the country's citizens - who did what they were told -

Only had a single child but, since they just got one,

Did some really awful things to guarantee a son.

Now they've got a massive surplus of unhappy men.

No one thought this day would come when they began back then?

China's changed its policy as demographics slide

But you can't have children when you cannot find a bride.
