Array ( [sid] => 128698 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Futility of war [time] => 2006-11-26 06:01:46 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Evil men cause all the wars,
History proves that’s true
The greed of man is in their hearts,
Using suffering and cruelty too

Some claim it to be religion
Some just outright greed
But the truth of the matter is
It’s a very evil deed

The soldiers, sailors and airman
Have no choice, but to go
They face the bombs and bullets
While the evil men hide below

Wives and children suffer
Civilians and buildings too
As war rolls on like thunder
Against the multitude

Suppliers of the weapons,
Claim it’s nothing to do with me
We sit back and profit,
Then rebuild for a fee.

Futility of war

Using suffering and cruelty too

Some claim it to be religion

But the truth of the matter is

The soldiers, sailors and airman

As war rolls on like thunder
Against the multitude

Suppliers of the weapons,
Claim it’s nothing to do with me

I dug that one deep.The people keep supporting war by remaining silent thats the main problem...We just believe the lies and call ourselves Patriots ...Are we willing blind or just animals ourselves because the governments could try to kill us all if we stood up to them but they would'nt have anyone to do their dirt.Peace-Morgues
