[bodytext] => Let me make my position clear In case there are any doubts lingering here I believe in a resolute moral stance Against this terrorist ignorance But I believe in the deeply moral way Strength in depth and honesty pay With this co-operation can and will be found Instead of spreading MORE hatred all around Terrorist acts and immoral violence of all kinds Are totally wrong and only FIX minds But the approach to it must be reasoned and sound Not peurile speeches spreading discord around Not emphasis on MORE violence and war Yes, there ARE times when that IS called for But its overemphasis will surely fail And ever NEW victims will be heard to wail Is that truly the responsible way to go? To rely only on violence to defeat a foe? And to overrule the world's long trusted laws Is it not to thrust us toward Hell's very jaws? Connecting with the peacemakers in solid embrace To remove ALL violence from the world's face Respecting the integrity of the others voice Realising there is ALWAYS more than one choice Not only MORE hatred and violence here Creating ever more violence, killing and fear But a measured way that keeps friends on board And ensuring common values are NEVER lowered Not telling lies and half-truths to home-based groups Not acting like dictators bringing harm to our troops Aim for an emphasis on peace and a meeting of minds Only then will the world be saved for ALL of Mankind [comments] => 2 [counter] => 168 [topic] => 41 [informant] => steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )
