A rape isn't a war

Invasion and occupations aren't war ,they are conquests just like rape.

We've been invading and killing, and killing and killing since before I was born.

We wonder why our precious children shot up schools like we shoot up other countries ?

We have always been sold an "enemy" someones to hate and eliminate since I was born.

Look in the mirror America .

Funny that do unto others as you would have done unto you doesn't apply to war.
