The Death of War

 

It's not just war.

Theory and application

both reach the same

agonizing conclusion.

 

Free ourselves from the shackles of bondage,

of servitude, of mental slavery.

Fight for liberation without war's wreckage

instead know only awakening.

 

If an ideology exists so can it's application,

So I bid a not so fond farewell

to 'lest we forget'.

 

Lest we remember how to hate.

 

There is but one race:

the HUMAN race.
