I'd Rather Go

I’d rather go before they start
A war of larger scale
Love is forever in my heart
And peace will never fail 
They’ll fight forever this I know
Its obvious to me
There is no end in final war
Cause that was meant to be
In case I’ll die before, they’ll cross
One name from their lists
I wouldn’t pay the victim’s cost
Either I won’t be missed
Let’s face it, I cannot provide
A peace on planet Earth
And if you can, give it a try
I doubt if its worth
No slogan stops the war, no word
Can stop it, and no action
Agreements look like sheer absurd
No effort works, no sanction
The war expands, the evil rules
I’ve no resource to wait
I’d rather go before the fools
Will shoot me in their hate.

Indeed, we, common people, are poles apart with politicians. They run their own world, full of resentment and ideas of dominance. They use us to achieve their "supreme" goals they count the most fair for whatever reason, they never reveal what is that reason that makes them produce wars and troubles, why should they sacrifice millions for getting to a point of complete disaster.
