They had no tolerance for tolerance
they never admitted they were wrong
They had only disgust for God's guidance
they all sang the same old song:
Why can't we all just get along?
Why can't we all just get along?
They drank Big Brother's propaganda
until they had no minds of their own
When confronted with resistance
they kept the truth at a distance
singing:
Why can't we all just get along?
Why can't we all just get along?
They signed peace treaties
with the world's tyrants
they paid for peace with their alms
They settled in their nests contented
until they looked up and saw the bombs
The conflagration turned
a billion screams to silence
No prayers were heard from the frenzied thongs
As their captors rounded up the survivors
I heard them taunting:
Why can't we all just get along?
Why can't we all just get along?
Epilogue:
As long as evil exists in the world,
and man rejects the counsel of God,
there is little chance for lasting peace.
There is, sadly, an empirical truth to your words...Mankind finds it too easy to turn its back on God and continues down a road that becomes more tortured by the day. As Edmund Burke pointed out the only thing for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing...your work is a timely reminder to each of our consciences maybe? ......10
