The Power Game
Ulterior motive inspires invasion,
to capture land for exploitation,
or to prove supremacy in global power game,
but the pretext given for raging the war
is to liberate the people from oppressing regime,
rendering truth the first casualty.
In the war the ultimate aim is to win,
even if sacrificing the lives of soldiers,
or killing the innocent civilians,
but the warring sides never acknowledge
they are committing war crime,
rendering truth the first casualty.
