friday the thirteenth

fear. 
more security. 
less freedom. 
more fear. 
more security. 
less freedom. 
more fear. 
more security. 
less freedom. 
more fear. 
more security. 
less freedom. 
more fear. 
more security. 
less freedom. 
more fear...

more controls will never solve the problems 
caused by a profound lack of freedom. 
it never did work that way, never will.


making more war won't ever bring peace to this planet

i don't care who started it
it doesn't matter who did it
if they use the fear it created 
to sell us all more war


when the voice of authority talks about peace
what they mean is submission 
(we won't have to beat you up if you'd just do what we say)
which is why war is a game everybody loses

death cult, infinite 
self-destruct sequence, 
never gets to zero 
just starts back up again. 
revolution is just spin. 
we know since it had 
a definite beginning, 
it can end. just like that. 
that is what hope means. 
they want us to keep it inside 
the box where it doesn't fit.


they'd never know 
if peace could work 
if they never tried it. 
not an authorized option
so it's too scary. 
peace doesn't count 
so they can't try it. 
if they never try it, 
they can't know if it would work....


can't seem to put it in words how it feels

to live in a world where war rages on
the loss of some lives are mourned
young men trained to kill are heros
and all you people do about it is pray
as if the god of war cares about you
more than the ones you call enemy
because you have status and wealth
or the right color skin on your face
