Persecution

I have known such depths of despair

From persecution and the further persecution

That says this is not persecution

We are not your enemy

We are your friend.

Then put down your gun, for God’s sake!

We are doing this for your good.

It is necessary,

It’s what is needed.

Trust us.

We know what is better.

We’re trying to cause the least pain.

You can’t have it your way.

Our way is best way.

It’ s always been.

You can’t change things.

If you would just understand,

You can have the good life too.

Don’t think about the others,

Others aren’t important

Just us.

Trust us.

We are not the enemy

We are your friends.

Then put down the gun, for God’s sake!
