Empty Threats
empty threats,
empty words,
useless.
When neighbors slaughtered each other
You called it deplorable acts of genocide
When grown UN peacekeeping troops raped 10 year old girls
You called it sad and unfortunate
When a government sanctioned the systematically killing of a tribe
You called it monstrous and evil
When dictators covered their crimes in mass graves
You claimed plausible deniability
When philosophers turned scientists claimed one race to be inferior to another
You called it a theory, published books and built museums
When children feasted on dirt cakes in order to stay aliveYou called it sad, unfortunate and spent 6 billion on your pets
So why would today be any different
When Burma sentenced Kyi to 18 more months of house arrest
Britain's Brown called it monstrous
France's Sarkozy said it was brutal and unjust
UN's Ban Ki-moon says the verdict is deplorable
and of course
the US drops words like contempt and unreasonable
Your words are all empty,
empty threats,
empty words,
useless.
how have the mighty fallen
fallen into the midst of the sea
how have the mighty fallen
reduced to words of mediocrity.

Deep.
It saddens me and their cynicism is getting to me. all talk and no action, nothings been done to change the stuff that our leaders can...
then i wonder to myself, the things i can change now, am i changing them?
that's the only way to be the leader of my dreams.

PS. i feel you, they gats to do something or get outta the way so someone who 'will' do something occupies their position. How are ya?

i'm good
and u are right
it is more an indictment on society than one of our leaders because we allow them to do absolutely nothing
truly empty... so sad, so true...
thanks for stating it so beautifully clear
Love it when you talk politics. Do so soon. :)
