War the states' tool of domination and control eats the nation's very soul
soldiers sacrificed on the field so many fight for salaries to pay ...
lured in by bonuses, hollywood produced promotions of heroism and education
to travel the world and kill in the name of their nation --
civilians support with bumper stickers and tax dollars
media keeps us ignorant we hear no amputee holler,
see no children crushed under the wheels of war
grinding on the grease of our constantly fueled belief
in enemies --
there must be Evil for us to be Good
the mythos revisited as a uniformed officer shoots a
"thug" in the hood--
some child called the dead man daddy but
to the judge, jury and executioner he's another statistical justification of budget
increase war to make peace is the mantra of the beast --
the masses exhausted from flesh feasts
from fast food, to fast sex we party and bullshit
full-twitter stream ahead to the train wreck --
after we've conquered the world what's next?
the lies are so ingrained you have to be insane not to believe it . . .
the air black with oil, the water is too,
the blood from our thirst for war covers me and you,
politicians are too cynical to say what they know is true,
honesty lives only among the few,
drink these toxins meant to kill slow,
we pay taxes to fuel a
vehicle that is driven by forces we don't know,
some hope to be intoxicated at the final blow
either caught up in deity worship or bottled spirits
there's a reckoning coming and we subconsciously fear it --
now when there's a chance to act why sit back?
now when our voice can be heard it's prudent to share transcendent words ---
now when the war wages on with so many explaining why it's so needed,
it's time for those who know better to step up on the stair of truth and share the medicine that's needed ---
humanity is not advanced when killing is our chosen tool to create change,
when we can look in anothers' eyes and not feel their pain,
when we can steer ships of death by remote control
damning millions to death by burning we have truly lost our souls,
if there's a judgment we must all be damned
for being silently complicit to such a fiendish plan,
for cowering in fear even as it is obviously clear
the enemies created do not threaten peace
it's the profit potential that spurs on the endless war crimes of t...
war is a business and as we continue to consume
we canabalize our nation, our world and sentence humanity to doom
