"...Fear DeSilva...And that is the nature of terrorism"
from the movie "Nighthawks"

We cannot buy our safety
We cannot influence sanity
We are unprepared for those obsessed with their right
Their will
Their network

We are only beginning
Factions hell bent on destruction
While the innocent pay the price
Illogical ideaology
Fuled by cultural hatred
Perpetuated by inept attempts at peace
There will be no peace
There is no love

I watch the smoke fill the New York Sky
I don't wonder why
I know

The world clock ticks louder
Yet painfully slower
It's inner spring unwinding
Soon all that will be left is nothing
Capitalism, intolerance of others
The sad legacy
Of a world gone bad
