Show Them Who Decides
Let us reach each other through the troubled times
Let us over power these evil beings
When will we all stand and fight?
Destroy that which we hate so much?
I feel the call of mutiny now
It screams at me through the rotting air!
They call it a Democrative Republic
We call it a shame
Those we elect, regard us not
So the land we walk on, still it groans
The air we breath continues to reak
Lets take our arms and not surrender
Lift our heads into the air
Meet the powers eye to eye
And lets show them who decides.

oh wow! that one's good!!
I totally understand what you mean. you see, I'm from Germany & as you may have known, the last G8 summit took place here. It is hard to describe what my feelings are about what happened. Mainly because I don't agree with the Black Block activists, yet do feel the need to develop some kind of resistance / civil disobedience, especially when I see the pictures of what happened to the peaceful camgaigners there. Not even talking about the political importance of opposition to the policies made!
However, you are so damn right in stating that whoever is mighty enough to start and stop wars, to put an end to injustice, climate change, and underdevelopment is in that position because WE PUT HIM THERE! And we CAN UNDO this, if he does not do what we expect them to.
So what the heck are we waiting for?
Exactly, and this refers to any country and any place that we choose our leaders, or even if you don't... every person can fight and stand for what they believe.
