fauxcroft

When the tanks go rolling in

All that we witness is destruction,

Through the use of killing machines

Mankind dies a little bit more,

Rolling over houses and bodies

This is the truth about all war,

All based on lies and on greed

Seldom is truly based on a good cause,

Mother with no more tears to cry

Cradling her baby who has had to die,

As the missiles rained down from the sky

Another show of how humanity has been defiled,

The miracle and the beauty of life

Those who possess the biggest military might,

Get to design our world order

Often redesigning all the borders,

But borders like flags and anthems are man made

Which are all a part of the same shame,

This world belongs to everyone

Not just those with the biggest bombs and guns,

Brutality has become man’s default mode

Undermining all of the humane and spiritual codes,

Compassion seen now as a weakness

By the psychopathology ingrained by those who lead us.
