WAR

Everything we know
or claim to have learned
Is really just following
what others have heard

Soon grotesque poisoned bodies
will be twisting in the streets

Maybe your street
by your home

This is what our years
of so called civilization
has brought us

This is the accumulation of our knowledge
in action

Does it really make a difference
what caused the carnage?

To the mother of the son who died?

To the orphans?

To the DEAD?

Our bloody legacy only changes by names
Ones who were once called "Terrorist"
are later called "Freedom Fighters"
but their deeds remain the same

Who is the enemy?
In the next war
or the one after that?

When all is said and done
Who were we really killing?
Except ourselves
