I am not Justice

I am not Justice

A Poem by empiethree

Written from the point of view of an Iraqi regarding the American 'war on terror'

"

 

I am not justice
 
Were being killed off to even a score
Paying in vein for a made up war
Stripped away to the core
Were already dead
And you want MORE!
 
Those red and white stripes grip me in fear
What have I done, why are they here?
I am not you so don’t tell me the truth
My minds eclipsing while you make you’re move
 
I know that we can’t go on
Fighting everyone
But tell me the killing goes on
Through the policies of change
The catalyst is framing me, destroying me
 
Were being killed off to even a score
Paying in vein for a made up war
Stripped away to the core
Were already dead
And you want MORE!
 
I can feel fifty white stars ambushing me
Pushing away thoughts of conspiracy
I am inferior don’t tell me the truth
My minds eclipsing while you make you’re move
 
I know that we can’t go on
Fighting everyone
But tell me the killing goes on
Through the policies of change
The catalyst is framing me, destroying me
 
I am not justice
I am not love
But if you want answers don’t look above
 
The powers to be
Are the powers to cease
Corruption infecting like a disease
This is not our will
We were made
This is not a revolution
It’s a crusade
Of violence and hate
For a mapped out fate
for only seeds of evil they will sew
cause growing absolute evil is all they know
 
I know that we can’t go on
Fighting everyone
But tell me the killing goes on
Through the policies of change
The catalyst is framing me, destroying me and I can see
Those six white stripes are set on red
The colour of day when we get to the end
 
Were being killed off to even a score
Paying in vein for a made up war
Stripped away to the core
Were already dead
And you want MORE!

I am a Christian so it nearly killed me to write 'dont look above' but it is the truth. The answer to our questions can be found down here. What is motivating these leaders? Who controlls them? Why are we being fed lies through the media? As allways, it is not God's fault that this is happening. The answer is a plot so sinister it could not even be convieved by people on this planet. The answer lies below the soil.

Glad I'm not the only one struggling to bear the worldwide weight of those fifty white stars and stay sane. Nice lyrics, strong sentiment, even more strongly felt I think.
