Stop the Madness

Stop the madness Aggression fuels resistance the equation is simple the world is a school so tell me who is the bully it’s time for a reality check The United States have no foreign forces in occupation as far as I know of Another simple fact is if you come to my homeland and house to take my sweat and toil, steal my possessions then you have to go by any means So I’m labeled as a terrorist and tossed in jail no hearing or bail guilty for being just a person tired of oppression No matter the cost desperation fuels a resolve of fatalism; I will kill you before you kill me and mine Lead by example is what we are taught as is in god we trust so what? Tell me if you can what god mythical or otherwise condones the slaughter of innocent men, women, and children behind a blatant lie Only one or a thousand words come to mind this is a travesty on the face of so called civilization and simply wrong But I digress we need not express the multitude of cries to empty ears and hearts If America is to stand as the leader of democracy we need to reassess our basic values then stop and think as a nation united There’s only one race, human, please stop the madness that threatens to consume this beautiful world and save us all.
