Conundrum


Such a dreadful
And truly evil situation
Where the very rich
Exploit the poorer nation
He was a terrorist they say
Never try to understand
What makes a human being
Fight and die for his land
What makes a life so hopeless
That it makes a person try
Perform such violent acts
And willingly go to die
Perhaps they feel so useless
In a culture of might is right
That life is all they have
To give to their fight
Which side of the fence you stand
Is relevant to whether you say
He was a freedom fighter
Or terrorist on his dying day
History tells us that Jesus
To the Romans was an agitator
While by his religious leaders
He was called a traitor
