Millennials Dont Know

Millennials standing most assured
need no knowledge of the war
Too evolved, won’t be anymore,
Yet lessons prevent they ignore

For war was long before their time
and now all are living fine
how or why not on their mind
assured all war is left behind 

Oh how dumb and naive they sit
refusing vision to help predict
unlearning our repeated habit
as though a choice to conflict 

See war is not always chosen
the survivors are not selected 
War is a need to oppose them 
Survive or naturally rejected

Every century, every place,
every grouping, every race,
every intention, every faith, 
war returns, war we face

And war will kill the ignorant
wipe them out so fast 
ignorance to war and,
it’ll be your last

You won’t evolve just follow circles
overtime repeat resurface 
think you’re clever, just a circus,
your attitude, your life, surplus

They who think they don’t need war
will perish and be no more
refusing know-how ignorant course
destined to lay dead on floors

See war is not what we want
but it is what we do
stop being a millennial pons
unintelligent and screwed
