Dear John,
It's time to get personal.
I don't think for a minute that any decent Moslem would condone the atrocities we keep seeing, I ran out of verses trying to keep up - please, NO MORE.
To all you would be Jihadists out there - this is what you risk becoming - a monster - a child corrupting, murdering, father stealing monster.
Innocents should never have to suffer.
Who or whatever you think you are fighting against does not represent the majority, AND NEITHER DO YOU.
I belong to no camp whatsoever, well maybe Mother Earth, the Laws of Nature, and I am a woman.
Does that make me a lesser person than you? No, not by a long shot.
I don't particularly like my government, but all this killing is SO wrong on so many levels.
I'll try to change things for the better, by song if I have to.
I believe in the good in people's hearts that exists despite religion, even you, Jihadi John, had a heart once.
lyrics
Take a look what you've begun,
Take a good look what you've become,
'Cause when all's said and done,
Your moral high-ground's long, long, long, long gone.
It's all in your head!
But tell that to the dead.
One more aid-worker is gone.
Jihadi John, what have you done?
............Wait, wait, wait.
It's not fate; It's just hate.
It's never too late.
Don't choose hate.
You have feelings that are strong,
You need a reason to belong,
But what you're doing's wrong,
You had to know that all along, long, long, long, long.
You're just talking to the hand!
Until you understand
We need more reasons to forgive,
'cause we all want to live, live, live and let live
.............wait, wait, wait...
When people making fun,
Ends not with boycott, but with gun,
It's not safe for anyone,
ANY God would question what you've done.
With freedom on the wire!!
Yet more Moslems under fire,
YOU sully his name.....
And you make your prophet weep.
..............wait, wait, wait....
Ask the women that you rule....
Why should children die for school?
They'd tell you what you're doing's wrong,
And they'd think my God what have you done.
All they brought was love!!!
And all you bring is blood.
One more aid worker is gone.
You're just making martyrs out of them.
...............wait, wait, wait....
It's never too late
Don't choose hate
