True Prophets Of Peace Poem by Terence George Craddock

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
