Our Enemies Equal US

As I watched tv something hit me

It’s not about the old fashion love

Or about the latest philosophy

But something that needs to be solved

Today I learned a valuable lesson

One that will not leave me till death

It’s about all us humans and peasants

It goes beyond the regular theft.

I know we all have gone through this

When we are faced with an enemy

Do we forgive their and put down our fist

Or do we retaliate till they shout defeat.

Our enemies are humans that are lost

Humans who believe

Who breath and most importantly

They feel pain and look like us

How can us Christians pledge the word of God

When in fact we do not what he preaches

But we do what our foes did.

Torture, kill and judge those who hurt us

Instead of being model, we hide behind titles

And state it is okay to hurt others

We say it is for the best, “the greater good”

I say it is all lies, for did not Jesus said,

To turn the other cheek?

How can we hurt, just because we were hurt?

How can we fight, just because they fight?

How can we justify all the things we have done

When in fact we are no better then they are.

Torture or speak?

Smaller or bigger?

Law or ethnics?

Humans or followers?

So before you judge another

And before you strike thee other

Don’t forget that you are him

For he is only human.
