The Manics Said It Best

Edthepoet

The morning air is filled with coffee
And the same sense of monotony
as yesterday
on the train to make a living
They did try to take our lives away.

Let's get it straight
This isn't freedom
This isn't religion
This is hate
This isn't evolution
This isn't revolution
This is pain

Are we brainwashed into thinking it's enough in responding automatically
Our thoughts are with the victims and there families

The manics said it best
If we tolerate this
Then our children
Will be next

Don't look back in anger
Won't make this go away
Yes there's a place for forgiveness
Only once we've left no trace
Of this modern evil
And it's religious mascarade.

    I don't understand any religion that worships God as a loving Creator and then sets about to systematically destroy and kill in the name of that same God. Such a religion seems an inherent oxymoron to me.; the epitome and irony of blasphemy.

      I could not have said it any better. I think it's time we stopped calling them terrorists, they're delusional mass murdering savages and should be dealt with in ways befitting there total disregard for the freedom of humanity.

    • Gary Edward Geraci

      Pervasive final stanza! This irrational evil will be defeated and in forgiveness, we as a universal people will truly set ourselves free. United in faith...
