Hello Earthling
Freedom is nice to have
It did not come easily
Many died in pursuit of it
Now we are giving it away to people in other nations
who having no idea of its cost or value
are actually blowing themselves up to refuse it.
Yet we continue to push it upon them
knowing they will eventually realize the wealth of it.
The alternative is our death.
They are taught from infancy
heaven awaits them their
lives are in the hands of Allah.
Christians are taught their lives are in the hands of God
The Father Son and Holy Ghost
Jews are taught their lives are in the hands of God.
All responsibility to mankind nature and Earth is ignored
in the name of religion and faith in the Hereafter.
So here’s a lesson in Humanity
You were born alone.
You will die alone.
You cannot and will not live alone.
Individual freedom to live a life that can be
remembered with pride every day
Is a responsibility worth protecting
Convincing other people of this
Is the essence of life
All is useless without the responsibility of freedom
