The Difference

Wanting what is right, high cost to fight.
Living what is wrong for so very long…
…Can we tell the difference anymore?

Now we must begin to wonder
Who is the enemy that puts us under?
Is the one who spreads the fear
Far away or very near?

It seems the lines are mighty thin
Between what is lose and what is win.

But why be strong when you can justify the wrong…
…as victims pile up at your door?

Try to throw them weak excuses..
Call their spade an ace or deuces..
Now discredit all they do
For they too are weak like you…
…but aren’t we still at war?
