Labeled A Traitor

LABELED A TRAITOR
Some say I can not disagree
Today I am tagged a parasite
In our great country of the free
I just wonder where is my right

I just have seen no connection
To start a horrid war with Iraq
All many want is a confirmation
Before another country we attack

On nine eleven our nation cried
When terrorists struck the USA
We still hunt for those who hide
Bin Laden`s at large to this day

But if our country was in danger
I`d have no objections to a war
But to kill innocent strangers
Without the proof I still deplore

So call me a traitor if you must
When all I want is world peace
I wish our leaders I could trust
To show us proof for all to see

Why is it so hard to understand
That we have a right to disagree
When for freedom we All stand
It is blood we don`t want to see

Your right to speak I appreciate
I will never ask you for a reason
Although not the right to degrade
Even accuse someone of treason

We are in America a land of free
It was written in the constitution
I am not a traitor, never will I be
We only seek the best solutions

I still don`t feel this war is just
I must only answer to my creator
Now only in God do I lay my trust
So just don`t Label Me A Traitor

If you are a traitor, my dear, so am I, and a majority of Americans. Read my poem Bubba, the Not So Great, and you'll see what I mean. You keep praying and standing up for your beliefs, that what America's freedom is.

You are not alone: Former US president Jimmy Carter, this year's Nobel Peace Prize winner, called Friday for DISARMAMENT BY THE UNITED STATES, which has taken the lead in urging such countries as North Korea and Iraq to destroy their weapons of mass destruction.

"One of the things that the United States government has not done is to try to comply with and enforce international efforts targeted to prohibit the arsenals of BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS THAT WE OURSELVES HAVE," Carter said. Will these uninformed critics now call a former President a Traitor, too?

good write!

one of the conscepts of British democracy that the American democracy never incorporated was that of "Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition". The existance of the Opposition in parliament reminds us that the loyal citizen may legitimately oppose the government w/o being called a "traitor".

this is a good write

I think a peaceful solution is the only solution. Great write.

You keep praying Thelma. I do feel however only time will tell if this is a just war, if we are truly committed to liberating the Iraqi people, and we stay the course, you will see Iran's population liberate themselves from their religious leaders, and the could follow several others in the region. A very close friend of mine e mailed me that they have had to turn thousands of Iraqi soldiers back who tried to surrender even before the war has started, also, in Iran, that the people are armed and ready to take back their country. Pray for peace and freedom.

Thelma, good write. I'm with you. Peace Not War. It is just great that we have the freedom to express our own opinions without reprocussions. Many are not afforded that priviledge.

Seeking the best solution is always the way and trusting in God is absolutely the best way of all...
