There are those who care

At least in the way that you provoke
They have a mission as great as yours
Which is to see that their way endures
And will grind peace into the dirt
Regardless of the many that are hurt.
The only way to answer their cataclysm
Is to also stay the course of the mission
And destroy the vestages of that most evil
By any and all methods at desposal.
Then perhaps (?) your children will see the day
When peace and justice is here to stay.
