I'm not a patriot


I'm not the only one who seeks peace. I'm not a speaker I am not a patriot. I fight to end this war. If you and I have troops, weapons, but not enough power, the lives of innocent people would not matter. We teach our children their right to kill for power. What kind of logic is that? We are not the victims. Our children are. Conflicts from coast to coast. Great amount of lost in each battle. No, I'm not a patriot. And because I will fight, I vote to stop others from their hands to cause terror. I want to put an end to this terror. Marked by more than 85 million deaths. Remember the bloody story and the number of deaths. A man measures by his way of resolving a conflict. There are other alternatives to avoid war. Let's try again and again. Only the deaths will rest in peace, for them this terror is over. These are my principles. I'm not a patriot
