Ethics behind Discrimination

How can we discriminate one group
For what only a few do?
Scowl at every burqa
Because we fear the catastrophic hue
How can we impose these laws
That alienate peaceful people
Shouldn't we be protecting them
Not pushing them off their steeple?

There are ethics behind everything
Even what the chaotic few terrorize
And even the laws that discriminate
On the ones terror does not summarize
We complain about condemning them
For a slight possibility
But think about the consequences
If we let them all into our civility

There are innocent children inside
That we cower with behind our walls
And while we condemn many innocents
By blocking them out of our floor
Look at the many inside here
Becoming endangered by the fear
Who do you care for, really?
Such is the way of this war...
