The enemy attacks,
And we fight back,
Military colours,
Dress us from head to toe,
We chant the chants of peace,
Yet our actions betray our cause,

Blood stains our hands,
Are we any different,
Then the so called "enemy"?
No, we are but their reflection

Mankind's pride leads only to destruction,
The fate of nations
Crumble under his decisions,

Are we any better then the criminals we lock in cages?
Yes, of course we are!
Murderers are punished!
Unless they **** in large numbers *
To the sound of trumpets.

We live by an eye for an eye philosophy and in the end we are all blind.
*quote that inspired this poem by Voltaire.
