War
We’ll be asked where we were
When the world was ending
And we’ll say “oh right there! Pretending
It was fine, sitting, watching
Debating online whose fault it was
Never changing things because
Why would I? It didn’t affect me
Look at this wasteland now, I am free
They’re all screaming anyways
This happened because of the gays
So let me be here, never fighting
Standing king over my nothing
King after all, over all I did choose
To stand up for and not abuse
King after all over this world
Who’s forgotten the key word
That maybe would have made me be
King over less misery
All that’s left is scarcity
Cause back when we still had wifi
We used it to televise
Live worldwide a genocide
No-one told me I could have said
Something against until too late
Why didn’t I do a thing
When the first human was killed?
Or the second? Or the fifth?
By the millionth it was worth
Too little.
Yeah tell yourself that
While your sister is beaten and
Your black friend deported
Your mother works with a black eye
And yet you wallow cause your pride
Won’t accept it cannot hide
Behind the pretext that the side
It voted for refused to abide
To crazy things like - empathy
Was too focused on money
Towards what end? Don’t know - beats me
How much pain until you see
It’s up to you to plant the tree
That changes this society
And makes it act differently
You want change well better be it
Because people won’t believe it
When you say ****** is bad
If you turn the other eye
To the clouds when gunshots fly
Instead of running from the trap
Many fell in like a trance
When they were given ignorance
As an option to a change

Who sold them that?
Never bothered to ask
Enough to wonder
How ignorance would fix a ******
I will dare take it a step further
It’s like someone told them it’s better
To not act to avoid regret later
So if a mother’s being shot
As a son you better not
Take a stand against the lot
Who praise bloodshed to the crowd
So the world stands still and watches
As sons **** daughters and the fathers
Left with nothing die as well
Just in a way you can’t tell
From the start
Until the sons take one more shot
Because some son found some power
And the tried to please his father
By bringing death upon another
And then another son would whine
“This book says this land is mine”
And just like that all the world’s leaders
End up being just men-children
With their own rules and battlegrounds
And they got bored of water-guns
So they looked at the ones they lead
Said they should die in our stead
For fights that aren’t event theirs
But we’ll convince them that it is
They’ll listen and we’ll make them pay
For the guns we use to lay
Our neighbour 6 feet under
And if they question our ways
We’ll just say it is the gays
They will believe in such a notion
If we also ban abortion
The less access they have to life
The more they’ll want to blame their strife
On some sort of external power
We’ll just have to guide the hatred
Like aikido, to another
And they’ll just wish the other dead
By nature of the human mind
Born to survive, not to be kind

The world’s fuse is running short
And it won’t stop if you don’t look
Inaction never stopped a fire
It can’t even change a tire
What makes you think this time is special
And that world peace is an exception?

They say till death, defeat is mental
But seems now there’s a new meta
There is no cure for us to find
Because the world lost its **** mind

_M.
The world’s going to **** and everyone’s watching
