INCITEMENT TO CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE

T.E./sb | 21.03.2003 22:40

I wish that I were able to incite
Young men in every land to disobey
For wars will cease when men refuse to fight.


I wish that I were able to incite
Young men in every land to disobey
For wars will cease when men refuse to fight.

To kill our brothers for a nation's right
Is not a method we can use today.
I wish that I were able to incite.

When leaders threaten to resort to might,
I know that all idols have feet of clay.
For wars will cease when men refuse to fight.

The cause of peace is shared by black and white
And freedom fighters show a better way.
I wish that I were able to incite.

Non-violent resistance has no bite
While undecided pacifists delay.
For wars will cease when men refuse to fight.

With power to reinforce in what I write
The things that protest-singers try to say,
I wish that I were able to incite
For wars will cease when men refuse to fight.

When Men Refuse to Fight

Then slavery will commence, and tyrants like Saddam will torture the whole world instead of just their own people. I guess no one should have fought for the Jews, the gays and other victims of the Holocaust either. The world should have exercised more "peace" instead. Was there more peace before, or after that war? Hitler was only able to murder as many innocent people as he did because the rest of the world waited so long to react. But, hey, they were being peaceful. You people need to be educated on these matters before simply repeating mindless babble that you have heard other people say. I suspect that many in the “peace movement” had never even heard of Saddam Hussein before the protests began, and have no idea how many of his own people and others that he has tortured and murdered. How peaceful is that? Why haven’t any of you ever gone to Iraq and protested against him? I’ll tell you why. Because if you did, you would get the same treatment as everyone else who has spoken against him. Your tongue would be cut out and you would be left to bleed to death. Or perhaps you would be placed in a shredder feet first so that you could scream for a few seconds before dying.
