What If? What If?

you are convinced... that i am a socialist, a deviant, a rebel, a lost cause.... what if your mother lived in Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, or even North Korea? would you want to drop the bombs then? what if your father was on Death Row? convicted of a crime you knew he didnt commit? would you still vote for the death penalty? what if your sister, strung out and desperate... was a whore on the corner? would you still want to cut social programs? what if you brother, jobless and penniless, had his house foreclosed? leaving him homeless and hopeless... would you still vote to bail out the banks? what if your children were hungry and starving, and no one would help them... would you take the law in your hands? what if? what if? look around you! the faces you see are no different than yours. maybe a different skin tone, maybe speaking a different language, maybe worshipping a different god... but really, not any difference! the faces you see are your own!
