Those Who Glorify War

by Balaclava· from Shame

We’ve traded the cattle for capital And marginalized the collateral Justifying madness With prestige and lore Thus works the system That glorifies war A false celebration of victim-hood All utilized for the system’s good Justifying madness With prestige and lore Thus works the system That glorifies war A nation’s values steeped in relativity There’s nothing left to feel but negativity But I have acquiesced to this violent plan An ideology is just an idle hand And I will hold on to my naïveté Because there’s no option for me anyway Course of action No empty threats There’s nothing elft to hold me back
