true prophets of peace
are prepared to die
for their people like Jesus
of old prepared to die
for the Jane and John Doe
who are too broken defeated
to fight for their own rights
to live as respected human beings
be treated with common
courtesy kindness dignity
as full blooded members
of shared race humanity
because any half wit knows
we can best judge the character
of any person people society
country by the way they treat
the least important members
of their established civilization
civilizations rise fall judged
upon criteria freedom for all
to understand oppression
process by which the rights
of citizens are slyly stripped
away justified we may use
as example elite excuse 9/11
aftermath scenario powers
granted to law enforcement
NSA to imprison individuals
indefinitely without the right
to trial for decades if desired
in camps like Guantanamo Bay
where Moron Cretins freedom slay
innocent until proven guilty
an obstacle for tyrant military
it is dictatorship gross stupidity
imprison without trial indefinitely
waging war on innocence
to sentence without trial
without evidence of guilt
is return to tyrant slavery
an America awash in past blood guilt
American Civil War delivered to hilt
slave chains redeemed by red bayonet
freedom forced down tyrannies throat
if Jesus christ was alive today
he would freedom march against
evil crimes oppression committed
in humiliation Guantanamo Bay
