Guidance In Protection

For a long time our people lived in Peace
Then the Extremist declared war.. against
The big uncle Sam regime.. now we know

We know how war feels.. blood shed
We know hard words like terrorist
We know of fanatical suicide bombers
We know War is not the absence of peace
We know War is a race for world control

No nation can advance or delay it cause
And in righteousness nations are exalted
And the transgression of sin is folly

We have lost our beloved in a senseless war
A war waged by the enemy of progress
A war in which humanity is the biggest loser
We have lacked tolerance and fair play
And now we are paying dearly for it

Guidance and protection we desire
Guide us and we shall be protected
For out there lies the propagandist..
Mine field peddling lies and half truths
Knowledge is power and its so rare

I am surprised no one has commented, your writing has significance. You might enjoy my poem "Tolerance" I am from Canada and it is a place of many cultures. I myself am married to a Chinese woman and our son is engaged to an East Indian Girl.
