Look at the malnourished baby boy

With flies of a thousand deserts swarming his face

 

Look at the infected bodies

Strewn all over the dirt roads of shanty towns

 

Look at the innocent souls

Cowering at the terrorists upon tanks

 

Look at the cowards themselves

Hiding behind the black barrel of a gun

 

Look at the tremendous amounts of hate

That has infiltrated the hearts of many

 

Look at how quickly we pull back the trigger

In the name of your god against mine

 

Look at how ignorant we are

In refusing to give another look
