No B In Humanity Poem by soren Barrett

No B In Humanity

Wage war for peace, kill their children to make hostilities cease
Bomb their cities, destroy their crops, leave them homeless, pull out all stops
Break their will, ruin their economy, take away their beliefs and autonomy
Rape their women, torture their men, in the end we'll all be friends again

It's never a war crime the first time. There is no sin when you win
Following government, people find no mystery. How can we be deaf to history?
Big business and politicians have much to gain promoting humanity's pain
Large corporations make money, elected officials get their voter honey

Those that start conflict never fight, exemptions for those with money or might
Send the ignorant, young and poor to fight and die in a rich man's war
There is nothing new under the sun, history is written by those that won
Kill a leader make a martyr. Crucify a man then you'll get a religion starter

So it will be, until empathy fills humanity and we learn to live as the bee
The secret is peace internally, then communaly, all men in harmony
