Peace Not War

Just trying to live life in peace
The bullies bring you to your knees
They send the fickle off to war 
Not knowing what they are fighting for 

We hear what they want us to hear
We fear what they want us to fear
Like animals that are penned
They control us til the end

Marching to the tune and pulling the trigger
Brainwashed to make the powerful bigger
Then tossed on a heap with mind fatality
Left to die with no grip on reality

The weak have no fight and have no say
But maybe they are happy and want it that way
Watching the freaks fight for control
As they live life with a hollow soul

So true, nobody wins when it comes to war, Wish we could all live in peace with an intact heart, Sigh.. Thanks for sharing Alexander
