No War Is Legitimate

No war is legitimate,
neither defense nor conquest
defense of what is not attacked
conquest is not a legitimate act ...
There is no legitimacy in invasion,
no war is holy war
everyone kills themselves without reason
everyone acts as hypocretes ...
Nothing that takes your value
nothing that forces itself has the truth
achievement is only valid with love ...!
when love is given ...
Nothing justifies inhumanity,
nothing justifies the killing
makes no union
when brothers are killed ...!
