The Nazi's And Their Mustard.

The Mustard

Running to the trenches with 20/20 sight
Gun in hand locked and cocked all threw the night
Gun fire blazes up then suddenly comes to a halt
Up out of the trench unaware of the thought
That a hot smell could burn away your eye
German voices are heard yelling, Sterben!! "die"
Legs crumble under me, thinking of loved ones
Gasping for air an only getting blood by tons

I dont think you want to stand in the blind line
Your left on my left is how we find other mankind
Ration bag on the hip instead of a military issued gun
A white paped mask instead of eyes that see the sun
Body aching and cold darkness sends shivers of the end
Not knowing what your up against inside the gas within
Revenge is not the answer but revolution is key
I wish I could get to "see" the Nazi again who put that Mustard on me
Put on your mask on tight and always look twice
The Mustard is lurking waiting quietly like mice







Fascist Pie

Traders of Mother Russia stand in a line
Which seems impossible with backbones made of slime
So many traders gather under one trader coward,
Who soon comes falling down like one of the Twin Tower

So stand in line if you want your slice of Fascist pie
It will kill shortly after consumption but "o'well" so try
Solute your cook or supplier of madness (Hitler)
Unless you disagree with the "Kochbuch verrückt seitdem" (Cook Book Of Mad Since)
Eat your pie fast and stare gloriously at your Cheif
Stand ferm with your arm out and wave the flag in false victory
So what does this mean you ask if one has so many followers?
Lack of common since is what I say to the world we call ours

The people of civilization commonly disagree
To the thoughts of Hitler just like you and me

War is necessary

I beleive that war is necessary because it give you another alternative to solving problems that cant be talked out over the conference table. War isn't all good, the bad effects of war are the drafts unecessary reasons of war like simple revenge. I think that war should only be extracted for a country wide reason or if terrorist attack the country for no reason in an act of war. War is also necesssary for self defense of alien inveders from another planet. War should be conducted in an isolatyed area were civilian casualties wont exist.
1. If Columbus had never discovered the part of Amaerica that he did we would probably be slighty influenced more by a country like France.
2. I think that if Abraham Lincoln didn't buy the Louisiana area from Napoleon we would have went to war with France because I think that Napoleon would have tried to take over North America, I also think we would have won the war.
3. I think that If the Industrial revolution would have never happened that the people of Europe would have expireinced a mass wipeout similar to the Black Plague.
4. If the African people had all fought back like the Ethiopian peole fought back their wouldn't have been that much of a slave trade going on.
5. If the reformation had never happened or sparked by Martin Luther we would still all be catholic and buying indulgences.
6. If the Americans had lost to Great Britian in the American Revolution we would still pay high taxes on tea and magazines.
7. If the Decloration of Independence was never written by Thomas Jefferson this country would be crazy or insane pandemonium.
8. If the slave trade never existed there wouldn't be many African American people in the America's
9. If transportation had never been invented past the wheel and wagon people would be more healthier from more manditory exercise.
10. If the Combution engine had never been invented the globel warming wouldn't be as serious as it is now.

A Changing Land

The European colonization has changed the New and Old world in many ways. It has brought many different flavors of culture to the land. The colonization and slave trade shook up the world's population in a sauce bowl and spilled some on the way. The slave trade is one of the biggest reasons for African Americans being in North and South America. It changed the European life for a short while because of the sudden wealth coming in from the slave trade and the explorations of explorers and the colonies they formed. The explorations changed and helped the diets of the New and Old World people. Disease wiped out the native population simply from the explorations, colonies, and trades between the New and Old World. As you can see the European colonization has changed the landscape and lives of people of the New and Old world in many ways.
