Outrage on Boko Haram Grows Will U.S. Drones and Seals Be Sent

Boko Haram is now finally joining inhumanity’s A-1 terror list

Jihadist fanatics that believe Christians do not have the right to exist

Their views on a woman’s role under Sharia are barbaric to say the least

Now in Africa, these fanatics are becoming the new Al Qaeda like beast

5,000 people killed by these fanatics since 2009 with 300 on Monday added to the till

Anyone who is a Christian or helps the government is fair game to kill

In November of 2013 Kerry’s State finally named them a terrorist group

What took us so long to add them to the terrorist loop?

Four years of prior killings evidently did not merit for Clinton any note

After all, Al Qaeda per Obama was on the run, a spin she could not demote

The outrage is slowly starting to build with Congresswoman Fudge waving dollars

Symbolic of the asking price for these girls to wear the slave collars

Demanding that the U.S. send in its drones to the Haram leaders slay

With a 7 million dollar FBI reward there is hope a Nigerian might their whereabouts betray

At last the US is sending an unarmed team of support to the Nigerians assist

Who for weeks acted as if the kidnappings did not exist

Boko Haram should release unless they want to leave on the one way Paradise trip

If the US gets the intel and sends in its Seals, death for them will be hard to slip

But even as the world rises in one condemning voice

The U.S. seems not ready to make the armed rescue choice

But even if we kill their leader and his minions,  each and every one

We may not kill the roots and the terror their successors will not shun

Nigeria is awash in oil and oil profits that its people never receive barely even a drop

But corruption is rampant and crushing poverty has taken up shop

A dollar a day for a young teen with no dreams and no chance of a job

While the oil wells fill the tankers must seem another case of Western rob

Is a recipe for terror to spawn faster than we can shoot

As long as the profits flow into the officials, the weeds of terror we will not uproot

But in the short term like the Belgian paratroopers in the Congo coming out of the sky

Mowing down the Simbas holding Europeans, an armed attempt we have to try.

While the bullets are flying and we import 5% of our oil from Nigeria still

Just another reason for independence and security to approve the Keystone XL bill
