Civilization

Everyone worried about ISIS, weren't we just at war with al qaeda? Look where that's left us, do you really not see the hidden agenda? We're the the real terrorists, how many have died for the sake of America? Another war due to religion, let's move past this archaic vendetta! Peace will NEVER come from violence, we should know betta The irony is too much, they see us the same way we see them I thought only God could judge? Who are we to condemn? People giving opinions after all they did was click a link and skim Let's think about the repercussions instead of just acting on a whim Because I don't need a crystal ball to tell you the future looks grim I'm sorry, i can't keep these thoughts smoldered I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders It feels like one man trying to a push a two ton boulder I'm trying to pierce you with these words like bullets from a soldier Wait, why don't we use our words instead of bullets and soldiers? Listen, the other night I had a dream of utopia No borders, global nation, It's practical, you just have myopia We're all homosapiens, the U.S., China, Middle East, Ethiopia They've got you fooled, we could make this world a cornucopia News flash: the U.S. (every country) is just another civilization along the timeline The Roman Empire lasted 1,500+ years, next year for us? 239 The worlds greatest super power? Ha. re-read that last line I can picture it in the history books now, death by the dollar sign
