Friend Or Foe

We build our walls and fences high
Psychopaths want us to die,

We try to stop our perpetrators threat,
Though our intelligence can't detect,

While European blood soaks our soil
Our Governments purchase Isis oil,

While innocents blood, down our street runs
They supply them with arms and guns,

We shout for peace on earth, that said
All we hear are secrets and lies, innocent dead,

Our Governments kill in our names they advise
To protect us from our inevitable demise,


The worlds capitalist wealth they lust
WHO ON EARTH CAN WE TRUST.

We love Manchester England.

Thank you very much Glen for your comment, the killing of innocent people for any reason is wrong whether it's for ideology or financial greed, thanks again, Roy.
