Analysis of Common sense
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Between people who share common ground
it is most beneficial to share resources
In those who work for the common good…
Those who have other plans
Make unreasonable demands
Lies Watch out for the other guy
Cheat, Bend rules so others Will not find peace
Steal, Manipulating trust to get the better deal
Harm-kill Taking life The family Protector Mother and child History Land and Resources Gold
Seeking to destroy Spirit and soul
Whose greed breaks, trust Creating guilt
Becomes fear
Corrupts the cohesion
Leading others to kill…
Death Gives a temporary respite
Over the lives of those who have suffered
By trying to do right By GOD…
Whose divine Law
which separates the innocent
From the ones who’ve
traded their place in Heaven
For a place of judgement
on a day it is not
Their time nor space
To control
