Golden disaster,
Spread like a disease sent only to create demise
This weapon of choice sweeps through the land,
Leaving behind no trace of existence;
Terror,
Scream,
Release
As guns are fired, bombs are dropped,
And all of this comes from our homeland
Destroying the weak to gain a little;
Land,
Money,
Power
The clutch it has on society today,
Techniques used to make choices of sides,
Questioning what's wrong or right,
Modern Government.

I got a bit carried away. I hope it doesn't offend anyone, but yeah...just my opinion.
