Self Destruction

Leaders are worshiped, Armies are much hailed, Weapons are much praised, And innocent creatures are, Killed in the streets, in the Homes, while they are working, While they are sleeping, The children's heart full of, Terror, they are told, we are, Worrier, we win the war, But who tell the preacher, Wars cant not be won, and No way, they can be win, Both side loose, both side Destroyed, citizen are killed, Here and citizen are killed, There, Winners are those, Who don’t care, for those, Their whim must be roar, Over the dead bodies of, Innocents, the trees, the birds, The air, the water, the animals, The leaders never die in war, They have power supernatural, As a common man is taught, To remain faithful to system, To praise the ways of system, To speak up to limits of system, To praise the armies, to bow to Money hoarders. But all are the gestures inherited Desire of creatures to destroy Themselves, Humanity seems tired of living, Perhaps plans for departing, And submerge in nothingness,
