Perished Might

Those that believe might is right
   Are itching on paltry issues to fight

           Show them in the mirror of gone by times
The perished Cyrus and Caesar’s might

War, That Great Indignity

"Might is right!" What's rung out.
On the side of "good".
Tis unanimous! With
Battles, fought and won.
Regardless, from whose throne
King of King's, peace-sat
Humanity loses.
Victory to none!

Premium Member Songs of Brave Men

If might is right
     weakness is wrong
   That's not how it goes
     in modern folk songs
 
   Songs of brave men
     filled the air yesteryear
   Today sing not of heroes
     'Tis they whom we jeer

Might Is Right

might is right and white is meant to rule
 with that mind set, tall ships sailed west
 rapists for the father-land
 Holy word in right hand
 to convert heathens
 while left hand stole
 and bled dry
 native
 souls

What's the Deal?

What’s the deal 
With “thou shalt not steal”
I don’t understand 
The white man came and stole all the land.

Some of the world’s biggest thieves are white 
If we continue to believe that might is right
And live like we’re all cocooned 
Then I really fear that we’re all doomed.

Water-Less Clay

Man is proud of clay
But least bothers about water 
There has been no human progress 
We all behave like medieval man 
The difference is only 
The places have interchanged 
The same might is right 
Still rules the world 
The tongue and tricks 
Of the water-less clay 
Has developed only a sharp edge 
The arms which were blunt 
Now becomes sharp and sophisticated

Parts of Life

As if
It is a part of life
To pull legs
And kill the fame
Earned by hard perseverance
This is a jungle of the race of man
Might is right is more right
Than the might of intellect
Attack the weak
Exploit the poor
Like sharks swallow in the little, small and tiny
In the ocean of life
Honesty is a burden
Integrity is a curse
In the market of justness
Value has lost its luster
Here people stripe
To be a perfect liar or hypocrite

Unfinished Business

In this maddening heat 
      of the prizefight
where ferocity reigns and 
      might is right,
the shrewder one may yet 
      triumph tonight.


For even the best can be 
      at his worst
and the last can still 
      outlast the first,
but either way it goes, 
      egos burn and burst.


Victor and vanquished 
     will stay remorseless;
they'll fight again till 
     they'll be both lifeless;
for to fight and win is an 
     unfinished business !
