The “War to end all Wars” ended over a lifetime ago,
Yet again war was found less than a life time later,
Millions died, millions slaughtered, lives destroyed,
But still we fight wars in the name of freedom,
A war fought all those years ago against a fascist regime
But all I see in the west is fascism on the rise
But the truth is too ugly a theme
Wars for oil, conquest, cultural hegemony of the globe
Blood of the innocent stains the ground across the world
And our governments lead us down dark roads
Into Police States and claim it’s for our safety.
And I wish for a brighter day.
A day when freedom means freedom of speech,
Freedom of thought, free from the shackles of being told
What to believe when all I see in the media is the propagation
Of lies, conceited deceit that they know best for all of us,
And it makes me question, makes me wonder
Whether the lives that were given was merely in vain
Merely a delay for a structure in to which we become trapped
Like laboratory mice all fighting for the same piece of cheese.
