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
