The powers that be say some
something more than say others
free will a gift?
to what cost
the expense of war
the ravages of war
death for following
death for an ideal
The powers that be say some
something more than say others
free will a gift?
to what cost
the rape of women
the death of girls
not a choice
not part of freedom
The powers that be say some
something more than say others
free will a gift?
to what cost
children starving
disease going unchecked
trapped in poverty
knowledge for the few
The powers that be say some
something more than say others
watching with hope
to what cost
