The confines of life are as restrictive in our minds
as the social environment we allow to surround us.
To change this environment is most often a task,
which in the perspective of some has led them to violence.
Their belief in their quest formulates an opinion
that takes only the needs of the few into mind.
And still they destroy the dreams of children
whose only dream is peace in their time.
A bomb that kills shoppers in Omar Ireland
is a reflection of ignorance steeling peace from our lives.
Those Godless destroyers of hope and respect
expect understanding with twisted words lies.
They took lives for their cause, with faith in their actions,
that God might forgive them this murderous plot.
Did their father's want their vengeance ordained
when it taught them to hate or die on the spot?
By the time they realize the cruelty of their actions,
their widowed wives will cry for their offspring.
Who only know the ways that are taught them.
They are sure to be lost to this monstrous thing.
Not a single geographic designation shall be deemed explanation
or relinquish the guilt that follows these men.
And when there's a need for peace in their thought…
I am sure they will feel sorrow again!
Never to find their peace in sleepless nights,
never to taste their freedoms rights.
Never will their children know the freedom
of choosing a living father over wars confusion.
Such delusion feeds this feast of souls illusions.
For hope is an impossible dream to kill but still,
they dull the twinkle in the eyes of children's will ..
.with emotionless martyrdom they kill.
