A Message to the People
|
|
I wrote this for the people of Syria and all other parts of the world who need to read it. A government only has power as long as there are those willing to fight to support it. People should never live in fear of their own government. It should only operate in their best interest. If this is not the case the people must do whatever it takes to change this. If not for themselves then for the sake of their children.  A Message to the People Soldiers march in your streets Mercenaries paid for By your own government They steal what they want They beat your children Rape your women And kill all those They feel might try and change things You cower In the face of their power You accept this domination And in the end Doom your children to do the same If you allow this to continue You and your children Will NEVER be FREE Those who read these words Arm yourselves Not only with weapons of this world Shovels, picks, hammers, anything you can carry But also with Love, hope, and most of all Faith Faith in your strength and your Father above This is your land Your home Your father`s home Your children`s home It will only be the home That you yourself give them A people can only be oppressed As long as they are willing to accept oppression When you can not fight Resist The path is hard And will be paved Both in pain and blood But the destination is worth the cost Freedom is never free You can not wait For someone else To fight for you This is something You first must be willing to do On your own When you do I promise you There will be others Who will be willing To fight with you As well Ed Roberts 06/02/12
