A pain worse than death

Muslim terrorists want to die
Death is their ticket to the sky
Where heaven offers rich rewards
For each neck slit with ISIS swords
By killing them what do we gain?
Instead of death consider pain
Torture can take them to the brink
Soul-piercing pain to help them think
About a war where they don’t die
But wish they could each time we try
A new, improved torture technique
That makes them scream and makes them weak
Word spreads fast through desert terrain
Instead of death a life of pain
Breeds fear recruits cannot ignore
When contemplating jihad war
Torture, not for information
Torture that brings resignation.
