Oxymoronic
The world thrives off
The educated ignorance,
End a life to save another,
Spread war to bring peace.
You listen as you find
Belonging in the chaos,
Fed clearly coded lies,
Silent screaming in your face,
Giving meaning to a pointless cause.
It’s oxymoronic,
No, more just moronic,
To give in to such an idea.
But the sad truth to the lies
Is that the endless war
Can’t and won’t be stopped.
