Note To Pawns

Why would a deity ask you to kill, If their power was really so great? Why would a deity grant you free will but then give you a pre-ordained fate? If your god and my god were really at war there’d be reason for us both to grieve, But why would our gods need us both to fight if they truly are what we believe? The people who spread this strange message are mongers of hatred and fear, Who prey on our faith and religion to further their worldly career. They sell to you visions of glory and rewards to be gained after life, But there's no risk to them you will notice, from a bullet a bomb or a knife. None of us here doubt your courage, or thinks that you fear being dead, What we doubt are your reasons and motives and the flames being fanned in your head. Don’t give up your life for these jackals, politicians in religious dress, There isn’t a war that needs fighting so don’t be a pawn in their chess.
