They Say War Is the Answer
They want to destroy what it took years to build
today's adults have forgotten
the toils of their fathers yesterday.
For how long would this foundations
be built with the bones of generations?
More bloodshed is all they seek
just to oppress the weak.
They say war is the answer
for our freedom to last eternity;
guns and cudgels in hands,
they say it is the only way
to negotiate with peace.
