There are
now two potential great threats to the security of this globe
The U.S. response
to both makes for an interesting probe
The first is
of course with all the gruesome videos the threat of ISIL
With its
beheadings, killings of Christians and prisoners a form of pure evil
The second
now slowly gaining traction on the world’s stage
Is the Ebola
virus now on an expanding rampage
No President
likes to put American forces in harm’s way
A decision
to do so is met with a desire to reconsider or delay
In the first
Obama has been like a record stuck
No boots on
the ground even if needed to ISIL destruct
As to the
second Obama may be sending 3,000 to Africa’s shores
To fight a
virus that kills 90 percent or more
Ebola is a
serious threat; it would be the perfect weapon against us here
With its
gestation period martyrs could be infected and then come near
No warning,
no symptoms until the martyr was at Paradise’s gates
Spreading
fluids we would have cases that would spread and not abate
Both are
threats but why our President needs to make a distinction logic defies
Facing ISIL
our boots would have a small chance to be wounded or die
Facing Ebola
infection our boots if infected time for their coffin to measure
To their and
their families’ great and sorrowful displeasure
