An Unholy War
Listen to poem:
You send your drones to spy and bomb .
Your soldiers shoot us one by one .
Yet it is our land that you stand on .
You deny us supplies of life saving drugs.
you send your soldiers, well government thugs.
and secret agents with listening bugs.
You build a wall around your towns .
and occupy our ancestral grounds.
while all the time, the war drum sounds.
I find this so hard to understand
when this plainly is not your land
And no, god does not give out free land
Yet your history is strewn with strife
of millions killed so cruelly stripped of life.
please respect others way of life.
If you don't you will only reap
the tears of your children as they weep
as your nation falls into an unethical deep sleep
you need to feed the dove of peace
and make the senseless killing cease
