Why do they hate us?
They sit upon their skyscrapers
With eyes malicious and green with lust.
They feast like kings and hiss like serpents,
Killin’ in the name of…Greed, and justice overseas
A father died a martyr and now his family takes lead
In the, anger, and angst that followsbut this is guilt that the west won’t swallow
There's a place where the middle meets the east.
Some of it is made of sand,
it's bland and you could get lost -
in the smoke, the ashes, and in the
tears of children and parents

Quote.
His forearm is cooled by the sweat of his elbows.
The fire is started in his hand, in a ski mask and shell toes.
I will not describe my culture,
With romantic language,
Showcasing the beauty of our brides,
Adorned in striking crimson,
Or the spiritual resting places,
That spread themselves accross the lands,
In the world you live,
there are villains,
There are villains who call themselves heroes,
they're given your rejection,
attempting to eclipse the shining truth with deception,
We are brother in faith
yet we demolish the fabric of our very religion
and this glorified arms race
Reminds us only of our various regions
we choose to claim superiority
