worth fighting for
Worth a Fight.
It is no longer about right or wrong. it is about taking a stand
Against those who came to this country
to escape poverty and tyranny, and now want to end democracy
The unwritten consensus among people of different classes.
We have become soft liberal, Christianity, you said?
Don’t make me laugh; we are far too Self-assured
to believe in God.
And we are giving way while their imams egg the people
on and not for a moment do they stop
No, not for a sneeze of hesitation do they think that
if they went back to their forefathers’ country
A whip would await them in dank cells.
Their faith has good points. No, it has not.
But they have the right to return to their cherished land
and practice a faith that is still in the Middle Ages.
Soft liberal, giving way for the sake of peace
a peace I will not accept, and I will fill bullets in the chambers of my revolver to defend what my people fought for, is called democracy, shaky, yes, with many flaws
But is a system worth fighting for
