~xtra xtra~enough is enough©
I peered over the hill in shock,
at what i saw i could not take stock.
Bodies all bloody and reeking of greed and hate,
they tried to make peace but it was too late.
We shouldn't have to be made of tin,
to prevent a neighbor from getting in.
Only to rape the land for all it's worth,
when it's been all of our's since birth.
To have power from greed fill the soul,
then of hate only is the belly full.
We need to share the riches of this great land,
and not be so quick to get it all in thine own hand.
We weren't put here to fight,
but when filled with such rage it is our plight.
When those responsible meet their maker they'll have to say,
what made them choose to be this way.
There will be thunder followed by a rain of tears,
at the fact that such actions have lasted all these years.
When we get to the pearly gate,
is your conscience clean to accept your fate?
