I captained the slave ships of old
Yet I could only ride in the back of the bus
In a white hood I lit the cross
And watched it burn through fear that I might be next

I am black; I am white
I am the slave and the master

I ruled without mercy, killing those less human than me
Yet I died in the gas chambers with my family

I am the German; I am the Jew
I am the elite and the chosen few

While demanding women’s rights
I invoked Sharia
I claimed this land for God
And sued to keep Him out of it

I flew the plane that brought the towers down
And lost my life trying to get others out

I am the son of Isaac; the descendent of Ishmael
Does Abraham know me now

I demanded equal rights for all
While denying the rights of Christians
I oppose the murder of the innocent
Yet I seek abortion and call it my right to choose

I am the persecuted, I am the persecutor
The victim and the victor

In the name of God, I kill
In the name of God, I die

I shall be judged as I have judged
May Mercy find its way to me

Melody Wilson aka Lyn Eagleton 11/3/05


Please forgive any political incorrectness here, I was simply rambling on after watching the news.Silly me.
