I look everywhere around me
Has anything really changed
New faces on old acquaintances
Same personalities, different names

I hear everything is cyclical
Nothing new under the sun
The battles are often fought
But has anyone really won?

Warmongering Americans
Fighting to save our lives
Innocent foreign countries
Dying children destroyed lives

Remove yourself from all of it
You no longer exist
View it from outside the box
To make sense of all of this

Countless lives are lost
Like a chess game never ceasing
The ones in charge calling the shots
Think any result is pleasing

The loss of a battle is also called
Population control
The winner finds stock and profit
In another land's soil

Who is really losing here
The answer is the world
Corruption hate destruction
In all humanity has unfurled

Put aside all differences
But respect all people alike
You don't have to hate the soldiers
To be tired of the fight
