Array ( [sid] => 53583 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Value Of Human Life [time] => 2004-06-24 21:51:48 [hometext] => [bodytext] => The Value Of Human Life
-----------------------------------
How do you measure the value of human life?
When people can take it away at a moments notice.
When furthering ones agenda is more important,
Then a boy having his father come home at the end of the day.

When hatred rules the heart and mind,
And people become objects and collateral.
An insurance policy to achieve ones objective,
And to further ones control of the solution.

What makes one person think he has the right?
To control another, to take away everything he has ever had.
To cause hardship and loss upon his family,
For the purpose of gaining power.

I am at a loss to comprehend such small minds,
Cowards that hide behind masks.
Chopping off heads to bestial authority,
Who have no remorse for their actions.

The ground has not enough holes to hide them for long,
Even the lowest animal must raise his head for air.
The United States Military will waiting,
And justice will be served,

perception is everything. a person can use power to do what they think is right by them or for everyone, of course threats and obstacles will be eliminated for what he thinks is right. you might think he is wrong but he thinks he is right. perception is everything, and isnt fact.
