I heard the bullets ricochet <br /> and prayed that none would come my way <br />We were deployed to keep the peace, <br />but sneak attacks will never cease. <br />Until the general populace <br /> decide that they will put in place <br />Their own laws which will guarantee <br />to everyone equality. <br />We can’t impose democracy <br />by force of arms. It’s clear to see. <br />The people have the right to choose <br />what they accept or they refuse. <br />What right have we to interfere <br /> It’s plain we are not wanted here. <br /> <br />2-May-08 <br /> <br />Http: //blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/self-determination-2/
