Justify the Cause
oppression and prejudice in their everyday lives
The camera zooms in to take a closer look
Flies in a child's eyes as she eats oats crying
Tears falling down her face
Yet the river of tears cannot wash the flies away so they stay
A woman is lying dying in the road to weak to go on
It is hot and humid
My lungs begin to boil with every breath I take in
Suddenly, the camera does an about-face
Hundreds, maybe thousands are being massacred with
machetes and gun fire
Nevertheless, cruel punishment
Inequality, aggression, the need to control, human suffering,
going to war
All in the need to look out for one's best interests and live in a
more secure nation
Was it all worth it?
For now we look over our shoulder not only abroad, but
now at home
