Peace Keeping
a few people did something awful
many lives were claimed
seeking to destroy the terrorist
with eye for an eye
the whole world blind
to the fact that those dieing in their communities
are not to blame
the children and housewives
did not drop the bombs on your families
a group of individuals out to prove the method of your ways did
forward march goes the massacre
pointing the finger at them everytime they release a hostage
They ARE taking hostages
You are just randomly massacring innocent people
its pretty obvious from here who is losing this war
and who is in need of which sort of aid
victoms on both sides
not hard to tell your people the truth then give them guns
preserve yourself, they are out to kill because the world has gone blind
blind with eye for an eye
seeking to control the chaos behind a gun
eventually your own arms out to harm yourself
friendly fire of what sights we have lost
enough is enough
you had your time to skin the cat of nameless clan
i would just hope
if some idiot in my backyard did something stupid
something big and destructive
my family, my friends, children, teachers, and priests
aren't gonna have to pay for the sins of one group of men
