Wake up all for this reality
An ease of harmony is what pities
We are in war, so fight by my side
Get your weapons, let's take this ride
This is the land of my ancestor's soul
The grave of whom my tears wept sore
I've had my life and you've had your own
Let's work together and save much more
I hear his cry, the baby is in pain
The enemy's blade rushing through his vein
The boss says it’s a sacrifice of war
Fuck him; he is a savage for more
I fight against no country
But against whom name it a democracy
The death of my sisters and brothers
For you they are just a dust of numbers
I beseech you, the brave of all
We have a chance, once and for all
Not just talking old men but indeed
A helping hand to whom in need...
Author notes
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who are hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. (quoted from a site)

So true indeed
There g=has never been a country that wasnt brought down from their greed and in knowing this and seeing what I see today I fear for our country for it is being run by that same greed today . Only like children they say well they threw the first stone .
