A Slogan
(Dedicated to
President George W Bush)
I were poor
And struggling for living,
Why did you hate me?
If you was wise.
I were illiterate,
And struggling for education,
Why did you hate me?
If you was social.
When I asked you for food,
You asked me to kill someone,
The cause of your benefit,
I were a criminal.
When I asked you for shelter,
You asked me to sell drug,
The cause of my poverty,
I were a criminal.
You was rich and intelligent,
You believe in justice,
You know about a standard for living,
You want to enjoy peace.
What was wrong if I were innocent?
You raped my younger,
And blamed me,
Because I were crying for justice.
What is a vision of peace?
If you exploited me,
Only the cause of your education,
Your status is holding a right.
You can kill me or rape me,
You can kick me or punish me,
You deliver injustice and disturbance,
Is Peace a slogan to befool me?
