They told us about terror,
And they told us about freedom.
They told us that if we do not stand for ourselves
We will be doomed;
We will be killed.
So we stood,
We followed.
Like a ship without a radar.
Ran aimlessly for what was freedom.
But the ways, oh so different.
We used weapons to attain peace.
And hatred to attain love.
Torture to keep ourselves safe,
And shade card to judge who is great.
Like a ship without a radar.- - a very good allegory, example. We used weapons to attain peace. And hatred to attain love. so true..... you observe the reality as it happens and you write........ that is the character of a true poet.... you have it. thank you for this poem. tony
