War, Death and Destruction.

War, Death and Destruction.

A Poem by The_Ancient_Rock
"

A collaboration with Zombified Spider.

"
Death comes to creation. 
Everyone to devastation. 
Still we bask in exhilaration. 
When we force others into submission. 

Soldiers shoot forward ammunition. 
Innocent lives into perdition. 
War and it's cruel damnation. 
Mothers cry in desperation. 

They say it's for the benefit of the nation.
Plunder, blood spill and desecration. 
We all must fear fire and radiation. 
Bombs that can bring forth extermination. 

The tyrant's speech loses reason.
To speak against it it's treason. 
Genocide is open for the season. 
As people get blown up into oblivion. 

It's just a violation.
Leading ourselves to suffocation. 
Institute our own starvation. 
Fell into temptation. 
Everything is falling to desolation. 
Waiting for our termination. 

Thousands face their inhumation. 
More look for their salvation. 

It's all about colonization.
We say it's for our purification. 
Yet we only care about our reputation. 
Everything is falling to manipulation. 
Everything is full of misinformation. 
Full of your justification
It was all a fabrication. 

We say we are free but there is still discrimination. 
We lose our aspiration. 

So listen to our lamentation. 
So full of mortification. 
Everyday has been a crucifixion. 
Left it behind for our generation. 
It will fall into repetition. 

And yet we do not call ourselves the villain.

Bob Dylan song said it best. "God on our side." Great countries believe they can do anything my friend.
"And yet we do not call ourselves the villain. "
I believe the silence people must speak. All we hear are the angry people. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

I read the papers everyday, and in fact used to work as a student journalist. I'm American, so the final line is especially... something. Death, violence, monotony... perhaps things to fight against.
