Too scary for words
When children are taught to hate
Even those whom they've never known

Too scary for words
When children are taught that God
Is pleased with death

Too scary for words
When children are taught
To live for hate

Too scary for words
When children are taught
To die for hate

Too scary for words
When children are taught
To fight a Holy war

Too scary for words
When hate is taught as love
It's just too scary for words

"Too scary for words

all too true, and sadly appropriate to current events.
thanks be that there are those who know that there are other ways to live.

Your words are wise and your style is superb. Very to the point and thought-provoking.

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.
