Analysis of war and hate
war and hate
We wield terrible powers
Over the unsuspecting masses
They quake in fear of the invisible
feel of our clenched fist
innocents borne of our ill-conceived passions
bear witness to our contempt
for the land, the air, the sea
We ride roughshod over dissent
the voices of decency become small in our throats
a bitter pill we swallow freedom is someone else's dream
hidden in rooms avoiding screams and shouts
huddled with teddy bears with the guts exposed
and the stuffing lay bare
