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.
