war machine 2

when the puppet masters pull the strings, 
its death and destruction to all living things. 

when the bombs and missiles are deployed, 
mankind’s virtues, are totally destroyed. 

judgements are freely, bought and sold 
to the one whose veins runs icy cold. 

onwards the machine of war forever rolls and roll, 
while the poor suffer it's destruction, and bloody toll. 

all this destruction led’s the innocent to grieve, 
humanity has disappeared; it has taken its leave. 

due to mans greed, and add corruption, 
the results are humanities, malfunction. 

the path led’s man to the goal absolute, 
now hatred has grown it`s poisonous fruit,. 

war delivers, and then man does shiver 
drowning in the cesspool of the river.
