Our Own Demise

In a world that is at war, where people are making new weapons for even new war, who makes the guns and bullets for the military? It's the people who make them, and they don't even worry. Who teaches the soldiers how to fight? Who teaches people how to bomb other people into hell's morning light? It's the people themselves who are causing their own destruction and following each other in the wrong direction. Who supports the governments, right or wrong? Who allows the wars to keep going on and on? It's we, the people, as far the eye can see, in every town, city and country. It's the people who work everyday, who live in daily poverty and have nothing to say, who are the people who are in pain, who call for action and get more crime and game. We, the people, have set these things that hurt us in motion. It goes aboard in boats and across the oceans. It's the people who put up with the lies. It's the people who are causing their own demise. How can we complain about all that is going on, how can you say something is wrong, when we vote for presidents and keep dictators in who do the same thing over and over again? It is us who are living a lie; we will be the guilty parties as time goes by. They rule us because we make it so, and don't know why. . A truth that is not hidden but all see by the naked eye.
