Benefit Of Doubt

It’s taken a while for the barb to sting, and an 

age not suffered silently; Islamic State lunacy 

may not seem threatening to our Sovereignty, 

or are we dreaming petty, introverted dreams 

assured our freedoms are self-sustaining; an 

unlikelier, but more delusionary belief, allows 

‘odd’ Islamic extremists in to stay as defence 

of the right ‘to be given benefit of the doubt’ 

It’s cancelled today in Abbott’s rambling brief; 

finally our internal security got a word in from 

the home team, th’ deviants are already here 

recruiting would-be jihadists to fight in a ‘war’ 

Islamic State declared against the rest of the 

World for being decidedly non-ISIS aligned

Our head-in-the-sand intransigence branded 

us an easier fruit to pick, but in a manner we 

need to think through properly; if the radicals 

we see no harm in are plums they seek, its a 

case social media promoting it must cease or 
be surgically cleansed - immediately
