We don't seek to be the ' Bully ' of the world, <br /> yet, we are the ' Target ' of the world, <br /> I guess it's easier to ' take aim ', <br /> than to stand upon your own two legs, <br /> and make a difference for yourself! <br /> <br /> Placing blame is easy, <br /> responsibility is hard, <br /> the submission is the easy way, <br /> as long as you can live with that, <br /> ... I guess the question is... <br /> ' How Long '? <br /> <br /> How Long will you allow someone else to run your life? <br /> How Long will you allow your children to be bombs? <br /> How Long will you allow yourself to be a cog in the machine? <br /> How Long will you pretend that human life is something special, <br /> when it is obvious to you, that it is not, the way they waste it! <br /> How Long will you be proud of them for blowing up the innocent? <br /> How Long will you imagine that some leader is a ' God '? <br /> How Long before you figure out that your lifetime may have meaning? <br /> How long before you are convinced that it never really did? <br /> How Long before it is proved that your religion is superior? <br /> How long before it is proved that no religion is? <br /> How Long until we get along enough to realize that unless <br /> ... we get along, we all are doomed? <br /> How Long until you ask yourself so many questions I've not asked yet? <br /> How Long is long enough?<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/skirmish-5/
