LET'S SEEK AND FIND PEACE AND JUSTICE!

Let's Seek and Find Peace and Justice


When Ig-no-rance is Fostered, Fears kin Rule; and So the CorpoRations Feed us Lies. They've Bought the Media, their Fav'rite Tool, so Greed kin Wear its Fool-the-Folks disGuise. Ashamed o' What-we- Do, we Hide from Light; we Just don't Want our CruelTies exPosed. AuTomaTons conTrolled by Needless Fright, our Minds and Hearts stay All-too-Often CLOSED! A Man once Said, “The Truth shall Make you Free”; he Said we'll KNOW that Truth, he Did inDeed! That Law apPlies ta YOU, as Well as ME! Let's PAY those Words o' Jesus Christ Due HEED! Ta KNOW the Truth, let's Ask, and Seek, and Knock; let's Not conTent ourSelves with Lesser Things! Let's Not deVour Lies from Empire's Crock; let's Find the Peace and Justice Kindness Brings!
