Analysis of Pawn (People Are Worth Nothing)
P eople
A re
W orth
N othing
It is the most ludicrous concept imaginable
The idea itself is antiquated
Killing each other is overrated
The power of peace is understated
Yet we continue on
Power and blood are sadly related
It’s the knowledge of war I wish faded
Perhaps you think I sound jaded
Our hatred of each other is tremendously dated
Because of us I no longer feel elated
Eric (and sometimes not)
