Rise Up

It really puzzles me when it comes to how 
humans process and react to circumstances, 
for instance, 300 girls are kidnapped by 
lowlife cowardly terrorists,  while the world 
community sits back and says, " oh what a 
shame". Well im sorry words of outrage do not 
take action, people who care take action and 
deliver on their words. Their is current 
technology that can find these cowards and 
expert soldiers highly trained for extraction 
missions, and precision snipers who can kill 
up to a mile away, yet bombings, kidnappings, 
and threats from these cowards continues so 
blatantly its like they are laughing at the rest 
of the world. If i was a younger man i would 
go myself and do what i could, but the 
pounding of my hoofbeats for a sixty year old 
man just wont cut it . 
 When is enough enough, when will people 
rise up and quit voicing and start marching. 
When Hitler tried to conquer Europe and 
slaughter The Jewish nation the world 
declared war on him. He was a terrorist. When 
the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor the US 
immediately declared war and took action. 
Nobody wants a war but war is necessary 
when you have tyrants and terrorists who 
think they can have their way with no 
consequences. Write your MP, your member 
of Congress and tell them enough is enough. 
Do nothing and things will continue as they 
are. Rise Up!
