The True Enemy

You our leader, fill us with hate. Off to battle, will seal their fate. What are your motives, that's our question? Blindly following, will learn our lesson. You say there's a war, and we must fight Them for darkness, and us for the light. But, who truly is our friend or foe. Your intellect high, and ours so low. This seems to be just another escape. As another land we ruin and rape. All for a leader, whose lies we'll learn. Throw him to the fire, and let him burn.

Thank you! I live in the United States. I actually wrote this poem a very long time ago, during the bush administration. However, it is still relevant today here unfortunately!
