Islam is peace, let's really mean it

I thought of composing my thoughts in poetry format... I don't know
the rules of poetry in English, however here is an attempt. Your
comments?

the more we get angry, the more we fall in to their bait,
the more we get angry, the more they will agitate.
the more we get angry, the more we fan their fire.
the more we get angry, the consequences be dire.

Let's not forget what our prophet said,
whenever we are gripped with anger
here is a challenge, the prophet said
'hate, anger and ill will you must conquer'

Let's not fall prey to their challenges for they test our will We have got to be Amins of the society and earn goodwill It is time for Jihad against our own temptations Let's honor our prophet and do no lamentations

Islam is peace, let's really mean it,
Islam is peace, let's show it by our acts,
Islam is peace, let's not frighten any one
Islam is peace, let's be the ambassadors of peace.

----------------------------- end

Think about what he would have done...
there are examples of praying for the wicked,
there are examples of forgiveness,
there are examples of holding on to the little devil in us,
and let's never forget, Islam means Peace
and let's not mess, what Islam means.
