1000 Lashes As Tolerance Dashed

 1000 Lashes As Tolerance Dashed

After the Nigerian Boko Haram shock

Another wake up call for us to our energy unlock

The Saudis show their true spots

Sharia in all its barbaric splendor is their lot

A thousand lashes even with a wet string

Akin to a most painful death the whipping will bring

We were born with brains to be able to think and to reason

Not by engaging in discourse be guilty of Jihadist treason

Ten years for a corpse or does this poor bastard serve that first?

With feudal repression by an elite family, when does the bubble burst?

The Saudis are really not our friends

Sharia is a barbaric practice that must end

Time to end the War on Fossil Fuels; time to start the War on Energy Waste

While juggling and trying to bring on line renewables in great haste

Energy independence has to be our number goal to quickly achieve

Any need to look to Sharia sheiks and despots we must quickly leave

This has to be a Manhattan, TAPS, Hoover, AlCan, Man on the Moon wrapped into one

The idea that Sharia and fanatical Islam can be our friends is over and  done.

Barbarians whether in secret sipping champagne in France or Jack in the U.S.

Barbarians on women's rights or rather lack thereof or discussion to cruelly suppress

When if ever will the barbaric intolerance and  passions burn out

Allow for other faiths to worship as opposed to trying to convert or wipe out.
