Terrorists

Terrorism is a villainous violence, Used by those who disagree, Bloodshed breaks the somber silence, Between those who feel unfree. However, when one disagrees With how the system works, They are targeted by an intelligent team Of thieves who wear white wicked smirks. Welcome to America, a republic of United States, Where your pick-pocketed dollars are spent, On a government gang who uses hate, To murder with money that from you went. The true terrorists are the ones who wage, Wars for oils and hegemony, Inciting their civilized slaves with fear and rage, With methodical theory made by Machiavelli. Over three hundred million of us, Have been convinced, That five hundred monsters must, Act as a regent prince. We are taught in their public schools What they want us to think, About how to see those who rule, In this prison where freedoms freely shrink. Taxes and rules taken and written by carnivorous imbeciles, Deepen the pockets of those who've stolen from the rank and file. The dragons drag their drones which drop from atop the empyrean: Trickled missiles made by smiles of self-proclaimed humanitarians. Like candy into a trick-or-treater's unsuspecting pillowcase, The surprise drops unto the bullseye on a beaming face. Oblong bombs obliterate their targets who're blasted into oblivion, Checked off a list of might-be murderers by gangs of the governing. Whose old faithful champaign bottles burst in bellicose victory, As the unelected republic jigs with their jolly old valedictory. True terrorism is to manipulate with police and military budgets, Paid for by those who fall victim to the brotherhood's bludgeon. We must fight the totalitarian status quo with knowledge and speech, So with our thoughts we can remove the parasitical political leech. Now unsheathe the might in hidden in thy mind, So we may leave terror where it belongs: behind.

Terrorism comes in many forms, Brendan. Our govt. whips us up in a frenzy, putting man against man, race against race. Yet we are too ignorant to see past the lies. Rant on my friend:)
