Even though I wrote it years ago I kept changing the last verse.
I wanted to show how soldiers are to blame for invasions and murder just as much or even more for those that put them there since they are the ones that pull the trigger or push the button to drop the bombs where they can choose not to take part.
It's a good song with the truth of America.
Time to End Oppression
Intro (If Any)
(Refrain)
We’re living in a country/With deep scars on her past
Tearing apart people of different colors/How much longer will this last
First it was the Indians/Columbus turned them into slaves
Controlling a whole race of people/From the cradle unto the grave
HIStory books do not tell us/Of what really happened before
Of the rich white men taking over the lands/By force through slaughter and war
(Refrain)
Another race of people/With skin as beautiful as night
Forced to come from Africa/Working without any rights
Separated from their families/Under the whip and the gun
These people were no longer thought of as human beings/They were slaves under the hot sun
(Refrain)
Now American soldiers/Invade far and distant lands
Carrying on with oppression/ Killing those they don't understand
So here in the modern times/Not much has really changed
How can things get better?/ When it is still racist and insane?
Now there is a way/To make everything alright.
Good intentions filled with love/Will carry us on into the light
(Repeat last two lines.)

I like the lyrics Warren, I really do
It's got that iambic cadence which all the good folk songs do by not being too restrained but sticking to certain rules of chord for it to song well
Your two repeated last lines though could be open to interpretation as everything preceding them could be said to have been good intentions filled with love, carrying all into the light.
Just the cynical critic in me, but someone would mention it before too long.
Good stuff, thanks for sharing and keep it up!

Thanx for the feedback and I am cool with it since you did not say something like, "This is **** and you are so wrong with it all you dumb asshole," like those who may have responded with that kinds of crap that are on block that I do not care to see which is why I put those trolls on block in the first place.
Makes this place a lot more tolerable.

It's a brave thing sharing creations Warren (Particularly on here!)
I think it has heart and head about it and could see it being a favourite if it got into the right ears and minds of people looking to tap their toes and take it easy for a bit

Between us you just keep on showing over and over and over again how you are the stupid **** since you are the violent one.
Do us a favor and kill yourself.
Seriously.
No one will miss you anywhere.

The idea that violence equals stupidity is false. In fact many technological developments have been driven by military necessity. Not that explaining further would do you and good.
You stupid ****.
Trump is still your President. Charlie Kirk still Wins!
