After dinner it became routine that I read a piece of my poetry to my fellow diners. One night after I had finished reading my "Nine Eleven" poem a rather pompous man challenged me to write something from the Terrorist's point of view if I could.
The next evening I read this piece to my fellow diners. He did not challenge me again.

MARTYRS OR TERRORISTS
​

​

We have been selected to be

of the chosen few

Who will make a mark in history

for us an honour too

​

We've looked deep into our souls

and the corners of our minds

Plumbed to our depths and prayed

that when called we'd find

​

The courage that will be needed

to perform this great task

And if we have and when it's done

there's something that we ask

​

Don't think just of the horror

that we have brought to you

But think about the reasons

that have made this happen too

​

For we follow our beliefs

etched deep upon our hearts

And thus with pride and head

held high this worldly life depart.
