It’s Not About What We Think It’s About What They Believe

It doesn’t matter what we believe 
we need to learn what they believe 
the liberal views we all know 
don’t have a universal flow 
equality is one such value 
they do not believe in too 
freedoms that we take for granted 
grew because the seed was planted 
gave us rights for our advantage 
man made laws that we have managed 
wars were fought to give us peace 
in separation wars did cease 
from Europe to the Middle East 
the western world spread the seas 
through the centuries of change 
we forgot about those estranged 
while their belief remained the same 
until we let them in again 
now they come here to dominate 
the only way they operate
