For the decisions of a few powerful people does all of humankind have to pay? <br />for people are suffering and dying through violence and bombings each day <br />We live in dread of scary people and of acts of terrorism we so often hear <br />And those who declare war on terror only expose us to violence and fear. <br /> <br />One terrorist calls another a terrorist and it takes one for to know one they say <br />And because of them good people are suffering and dying in the most tragic way <br />The well treated dog is so lovable but the dog badly treated will bite <br />And just like the big school yard bully there's always one to test his might. <br /> <br />We hear of the Axis Of Evil but that's propaganda nothing more <br />And words like we are the good guys and they the bad guys one might say we've heard that before <br />Peace is never won by aggression and one form of terrorism to another form lead <br />And war a nom de plume for terrorism for more terrorism is sowing the seed. <br /> <br />For the decisions of a few powerful people why must we live in fear of the pay back <br />And one terrorist calls another a terrorist and human rights under attack <br />And the so called good guys who condemn the bad guys their right to cast aspersions on others assume <br />But in a World of so much aggression the flower of peace will never bloom.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-the-decisions-of-a-few-powerful-people/
