Pawn

P.A.W.N. In war… P eople A re W orth N othing It is the most ludicrous concept imaginable The idea itself is antiquated Killing each other is overrated The power of peace is understated Yet we continue on Power and blood are sadly related It’s the knowledge of war I wish faded Perhaps you think I sound jaded Our hatred of each other is tremendously dated Because of us I no longer feel elated Eric (and sometimes not)

I wonder how it all started, it's been with us since the beginning of time. Very sad state of affairs...is there any avoiding what is coming, we've been given enough warnings throughout history. Yes P.A.W.N. Unfortunately the beautiful creatures of our world (air, sea, land) and our environment have no say, other than the support of P.A.W.N.
