MINDLESS VOICES SHOUTING FOR WAR

Just listen to them exhorting the multitudes
Arguing for war and starting blood feuds
Against their religions to slow down and talk
Instead it’s best to deliver a mindless death shock

The hard march of man regardless of where
Into the twenty first century for man’s agony is still there
None to stop the powerful as they march foursquare
Into the bloody future where mankind cowers midst prayers

All actions justified by Orwellian decree
No problem at all as long as man bends his knee
There is always many to back the killing spree
As manufactured consent tips the scales giving war a pass key

Do those watching bombs drop know the real score
Are they aware that they’ve been pulled this way and that
In the bloody morass that has existed for eighty years
Triggering events that are aggressive causing man to shed tears

The actions are dumb, the taste for war out of sight
The range of the killing fields has expanded worldwide
Nothing to keep in check militaristic action that has fried
Life on the planet as destruction trumps reason Showing might is right
