You order proud shopkeepers, do you shout them?
Better live spoons now or Garrick will gently laugh them behind you.

Did it occur to you

Assalam u'Alekum :)

Does it ever occur to you that I am a human being, and they gave me
biological weapons since I was a child, what evil are you talking about,
does it occur to you that I never hated these people at till last year,
does it occur to you all those people they raped were human beings had
feelings, does it occur to you that millions of Muslims dying because of
their biological weapons are human too, does it occur to you that my I
have been sentenced to living death when I did not do a thing, does it
occur to you that when they were giving me bilogical weapons they could
easily have seen I am not against them, does it occur to you that
Muslims in Muslim countries are killed simply for not sleeping around,
does it occur to you that they have taken control of society and if it
wasn't God's will I wouldn't be alive, does it occur to you that justice
is my righ too, they raped my body and got away with it, and you don't
hear a word from anyone about it, does it occur to you how it feels like
to feel pain in every blood vessel every instance of your life, does it
occur to you these biological weapons kept coming targetting me for
things I did not do, does it occur to you how it feels like when someone
breaks all your bones for crimes you did not do, does it occur to you
how it feels like to sentence someone to living death, what sorry what
hate are you talking about, you don't know what you are dealing with one
day when you are alone ask your secret service, ask those who are
insiders, ask those who have been raped for decades by Jewish because
they were born to be slaves, ask those who have been sentenced to living
death in Muslim countries. 

Does it ever occur to you what these people do to those who are weak and
powerless, does it ever occur to you an average person, a race wouldn't
do t
