On the road to war

 

On the road to war,

end is getting close

'But what can we do?'

The words tinged in woes.

I hear you. No angry cry.

Just a whispered sigh,

accepting fate, instead of

screaming out loud

that this shit isn't right.

 

We can raise our voices.

Let people know it’s not right,

we have choices.

Put down our weapons,

when they ask us to fight.

I won't go quietly

into that battle,

I'll go with both arms tied tight,

shouting that no war is just.

War is not right.

Let's put mind over might

and hold our nerve tonight.

 

'What can we do,

I'm just an ordinary person

going about my life?'

Well for starters,

don't accept the gun or knife.

Put down weapons,

pick up pens to write.

Pick up paint

and spread it out.

Grab a megaphone

and shout out loud.

Show the men in suits,

the people in high places,

that our billions won't bow

to their shameful status.

 

On the road to war,

but who is the enemy?

Is it people living their lives,

or the suits and ties,

that will never get blood

on their white shirts,

will never see the fear

in a dead man's eyes.

'But what can we do?'

We can say no.
