Basically, the Same Thing

Riot
                                                   Violent, Chaotic
                                            Burning, Fighting, Running
                                              Voices of the oppressed
                                                     Revolutionary


                                                           Patriot 
                                                      Duty, Freewill
                                           Bombing, Killing, Occupying
                                                    I love my country
                                                           Soldier 


                                                            Peace
                                                     Unreal, Illusive
                                         Talking, Disagreeing, Defending 
                                                       Pie in the Sky
                                                             War


                                                          Factories
                                                   Routine, Processed  
                                        Evaluating, Regulating, Producing  
                                                  It’s about the money
                                                           School
