Who/What We Be?

Those terrorist’s, though ill advised
Have beliefs, they must fulfill
A battle of dollar/god
And, the dollar, never will.

Though, I’m not a believer
I just wonder, how they can
And, in some god’s name
Destroy, their fellowman.

Belief or need of either one
Is something, I can’t see
Some thing or some entity
Can, change, who we might be.

From the caveman, to present day
We’ve always killed our own
Real peace and happiness
Something, humankind’s not known!

I’m as guilty as anyone
Because the human that I be
Am blind to the right to Life
For everything, that I see.

Like all those of my kind
Our wellbeing, is utmost
Whether, it be that dollar
Or some unseen, heavenly ghost?

Put your beliefs, in what you will
And do, what you feel, you must
But, never think, because it’s you
That, makes those actions, Just!

"But, never think, because it’s you
That, makes those actions, Just!"

Yes, and Yes!
I think that last line is the entire picture.

Great one my friend.
