Pawn (People Are Worth Nothing)

Acrostic

In war…

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
