It takes a lot of courage to deny a potent creed,
One that looks on carnage as a holy blessed deed.
Had I once been jihadi, could I ever come to call
On Jesus as my Saviour and Redeemer from the Fall?
Tradition and upbringing shackle many as proud slaves
And takes them to the Promised Land by way of many graves.
So here’s to one young man at least who found a better way
And is not fearful that his colleagues might want him to slay.
It gives an old man like me, grown so cynical and wry,
The hope that exaltation still can come to those who try!
