Who do you think you are

That is who you are  
 
Oh- another won't let you be who you want to be?  
 
That's who you are  
One who gives control to another  
 
 
Seventy thousand dead (so far) in the Syrian fighting  
 
The Government offers the Rebels truce  
 
The Rebels say "No truce with murderers"  
as the Government uses chlorine gas to wipe out an unsupportive town  
 
 
Crashing through the corralling carapace of control  
 
Rebel to Freedom Fighter to Liberator  
 
The fiercest fighting is always between the ears  
 
 
Who do you want to be-  
Villian  
Victim  
Victor  
  ?  
 
What are you willing to do to get what you want?  
 
If you answer  
"Whatever it takes"  
you have, in Spirit, succeeded
