Is Death a Number

One, two, three, four Count the numbers Hated this maths as a kid Thrust on us by God knows who Is life a number? One, two, three, four Count the numbers Bullets spray around Bombs blast around Who allows these numbers? One, two, three, four Count the numbers Hundreds dead Thousands injured Why make us count these numbers? One, two, three, four Count the numbers Survivors are fortunate numbers The Dead are the forgotten numbers Ain’t we sick of these numbers? One, two, three, four Count the numbers Religions created for love Targeted for hate Do we really need these spiritual numbers? One, two, three, four Animals can’t count Only a man can Why not be back to the primitive ages Do we need these numbers? One, two, three four Count the numbers Hate this maths even now Thrust on us by God knows who Is death a number?

yes it is... the four riders are commonly seen as symbolizing Pestulance [1] War,[2] Famine[3] and Death [4], respectively all of these come from the Christian book of Revelation and all I guess act as a way to control population...I guess not too many die willingly? Light & Love
