Evil

This land was your land this land is their land yet sad is my tail of woe as people steal and gloat the Ottoman wealth was gained from the sale of Palestine's shore's The peasants of poverty cried out in vain the land of their fathers drifted away stolen by Ottoman laws with evil the rich came to play The peasants on death beds cried out in pain the land that you stole provided their food the rich men they wallowed at troths of gold enjoying the riches as peasants cried fowl With poverties anger up came revenge the evil of hunger cried out in vain the children of farmers soldiers became the evil grew stronger with death it's new game and so turns the clock on a dime as evils takes hold of your time terrorists rise from the flames and evil destroys peoples planes Suicide bombers grew from this sludge one people one planet we need to cry fowl stop all the evil stop it right now surely I know it surely I see All men can be evil when greed leads to sin you blame all the others for sins of the past Attacking the innocent men at their jobs people that never did anything wrong We did not steal the farms that you had and yet you would kill us for other Men's deeds You think you are better than us yet truth be it told be it never so bold your life's become dealers in death and that makes you lower than sludge you take little children and dress them in lies creating new weapons of their little lives that can't make you better than us that just makes you evils new friend instead walk away from your pain lets help to stop poverty's grip turn away from evils grey shores lets help create love we adore creating the jobs and the wealth give back to your brothers their health Granted what happened was wrong but revenge is a two sided song killing more innocents won't make it right it just means that others will join in the fight.

Killing is killing, no matter why people choose to do it. Your title is very apt, for this forceful write.
