Why Do You Hate? by kiwisteveh
Write a Wrapped Refrain contest entry



Why do you hate us? Can't you see
we sent our sons to set you free?
They spilled their blood on desert sand
to fell a tyrant, take a stand
against the terror your own leaders perpetrate.
And so I ask you once again, "Why do you hate?"


 
************
 
You taught us hate with bombs and guns
that slaughtered sisters, mothers, sons.
You say you came to set us free;
my brother, here's the irony:
what freedom lies within the darkened prison gate?
In Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, you taught us hate.
