Uncomfortable Truths About Wars

Lethal Thermobaric Bombs Also known as vacuum bombs Sucking the oxygen out of the air For many miles. Nuclear and cluster bombs And the worst of the sickest bombs Of all: obvious racism at the borders Life is never, never, never fair Even in war, for many brothers and sisters The shelling will not stop Too many explosives are being popped Innocent and young people are dying And the hypocrites, the racists The murderers, the war-mongers The cowards, the propagandists The shenanigans, the monsters The fakers, the sinners and the liars Are on the very top of their games What a shame! They shoot all blames Toward the victims and the innocents Remember the shameful wars Remember the shattered lives Remember the blaring sirens Remember the supersonic sounds Remember the deafening cries Remember the powerful roars The constant shelling makes no sense Because children are being killed That's a lethal and deceptive ploy Real humans should build Not bomb, not destroy I am pissed For Peace It's shameful and despicable that no one wants To live by the rules.
