I Take No Sides
I take no sides where conflict exists
I condemn all hate, war, violence, and wickedness
That leads ultimately to innocent suffering or death
I will oppose oppression until my final breath
This world I see is here for all to share
Not to carve up and owned here and there
By oligarchs and governments
By dictators who crave annihilation
Of any other sovereign nation that will not yield
Or share the same ideals
I see to many people killed
In the name of God, Queen or country
These visions they always haunt me
I desire a better world than this
One where all humanity exists
To evolve and grow through love and peace
But many call this unrealistic and too simplistic
But these are the one who earn from weapons and war
These are the governments who send us to war
These are the oligarchs who promote war
What the hell are we fighting for?
Land that belongs to everyone?
Money and power that we don't get any of?
It's crazy to me and easy to see they pump us full of patriotic glee
To inspire our fervour like a disease
To keep these wars continually continuing
To keep the arguments and hate going
To keep the need for funding
The military machines of death.
Time to change, time for peace
Time to unite against this
Those who keep driving us as a humanity into this
Are not even close to the top of the most intelligent list
Yet through mechanism like fear and xenophobia
They are able to win the vulnerable over
And inspire and instill greater divides among nations
Where actually we should be trying to unite
Trying to work as an entire entity
To finally set humanity free
Through liberation of heart and soul
Where we are no longer controlled by fear, debt, colour, faith or class
Is a unified humanity living in love and peace to much to ask?
