Sacrilege and Sand
They danced their heathen dances in gowns as white as snow
They twirled and gesticulated
But little did they know
The screams and cries of pain were few
But many felt the pain
The never saw them coming
The bombs as thick as rain
The best man and flower girls
The maidens and matrons all
Shattered and broken
Incinerated before they could fall
And over head soars Uncle America
Big brother to all nations
Destroying the just and saving the world
From all other celebrations
I'm here to help
He says with a smile
His heart is empty and dry
He grins and watch us suffer
He smiles when our fathers die
Your ways are wrong he tells us
This , my way is the best
So abandon your faith and take this
Or I'll put your faith to the test
So we young trustful people
Whose tradition is to follow
Put aside our lively hoods
And in his shadow wallow
We abandon our long held customs
Although he says there's not much change
He makes us in his image
These actions to us are so strange
And yet we follow dear uncle
He's helped so many before
But now we see his shadow
A demon cast on our door
Deliver your children Allah
Our big brother has lead us astray
He told us to change our ways
He bade us 'do so or pay'
He rapes our land of her beauty
He leads our women astray
He forces us from our temples
Or he bombs them to turn us away
Why do you destroy us Dear uncle of mine
My foreign neighbor at best
Why do you misjudge us
Label us all to detest
Not all of our people
Are as you have seen
Dishonest unjust or just mean
Many of us welcome this change
And with open arms let you in
But now we are wounded
By those same seeking hands
Those arms bound tight in poison
Our children are dying
Our world falls apart
And our mothers are stricken in heart
Our young one be swayed by national ways
And raise banners and bodies against you
Why did you come here with these false goals
Helping while filling yourself
Our dictator is now gone
Yet you stay on encouraging us to act out
Everything you do is laced with hatred
And though we try we cant figure you out
Are you what you say but never do
Or what our media portrays of you
Evil hearted foreigners who wish to mislead us
Take advantage of our lands and our views
Our leaders are gone
Our sects are still splintered
Our lands destroyed
Our lives in disorder
Our minds have been toyed
We have no idea what to do
Should we fight our or own people
These strangers or false friends
Our Neighbors or neighbors next door
We are confused
With no one to guide us
Our hearts have been held for too long
Release us great uncle
Return to your land
Leave us alone with our sacrilege and sands
