False Pride
By Tegs
OK, Yes I know, seven thousand dead.What a terrible tragedy, this shouldn't have occurred.But did anyone stop and think aboutthe lack of humanity in Americas response?They have now been brought down to the Talibans level,the ones who destroyed artwork, four thousand years old,because it preached another religion.How does that make you feel? You proud Americans.You just murdered over fifty thousand innocentswith the stroke of the pen that voted for Bush.How do you feel knowing that thousands lie dead at your hand. Your stupid arrogant American ideals,'if it's not American, it's no good'There's a whole other world out there,full of people happy with their lives, and sick to death of being seen as second rate,just because they're not American.Us others over here, have to work like all helljust to get noticed, because we don't have the privilage,of living in a country where kids kill each other at schoolon a daily basis.I for one feel really upset, we're being punished,for not belonging to the hive of the worlds most racist, arrogant and ignorant population.So go on, be proud of yourselves.Just remember, there's a whole other world out thereAnd we aren't going to go away.
