I feared this day would come,
when I have to say these words
that we are no longer great,
we have become compromised,
my hope turned to despair,
over the treasure we have lost
generations of fealty forgotten…
we have become what we abhor
we have chosen the madman,
power over right, become evil,
another face of their enemy
a brethren to their terror,
complicit in their genocide
taking of innocent blood…
there is no neutrality in terror,
in the genocide they are committing,
either one is with the aggressor
or with those being persecuted,
and we have chosen poorly, evil,
we have turned our backs on the victims,
of their terror, this awful genocide…
we have become what we abhor
another face of our enemy,
not fighting against their evil,
siding with their terror, genocide,
attacking the victims, the martyrs,
bombing civilian targets, war crimes,
we carry the stain of innocent blood…
I pray we wake up from this nightmare,
that we would reverse course in this moment,
returning to our values, our commitments,
that our demons would be put back
into the opened Pandora’s Box,
that we would stand with these people,
that their evil would be defeated…
