Is it ISIS or ISIL?
I think it is the latter
It really doesn’t matter
True, ISIS rhymes with crisis
Let’s not lose our heads about this
But ISIL rhymes with evil
And also with the devil
So if reason still prevails
The devil’s in the details.

Exccellent poem for the days
we are living in. Isil actually does
make more sense, though most
call them Isis. Who cares of their
name, only have a desire that they
burn in Hell.
What a wonderful poem by Robert – so witty, great use of metre and rhyme.
An amazing mixture of satire and reality. Interesting . A usual component of Robert Kings work.
