I Refuse Your Pride...

I Refuse Your Pride….

Refused to die in your fucking war,
ran away and hid, closed my eyes.
You won’t tell the truth, what it’s for,
why do leaders live out on their lies.

You called me a coward, I was afraid,
it’s a bloody basic instinct to live.
Look at this world what you’ve made,
it’s a hundred thousand war narrative.

Political murder to achieve your wealth,
bodies lie rotting all over the globe.
Bits of people blown apart by stealth,
all you want now is a murder strobe.

Why is man such a murdering beast,
then calls a Doctor to assuage his guilt.
Can’t we be honest with ourselves at least,
admit that it’s a horrible place we’ve built.

This is my horror story firmly stuck in my head,
shown by a wonderful media who take us for a ride.
Truth is countless millions by man’s hand are dead,
we can’t shrink rap murder in national pride.

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
The true horror is man, we've got to have change...

disagree what you are saying here, one little bit! Shrink-wrap is with a [w]. Unless this is a pun intended? ~ Gee

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

Thank you and the pun was intended. Regards Roscoe...

Roscoe Llane,

Religion will rip your faith off, and return
for the mask of disbelief that's left.

As with Gee... I agree 100 percent...
All in sympathy with the conciencious objector...
Seems to me that governments have wars in order to cull populations... not to mention the greedy and power-seeking elite, who encourage them in order to promote their own interests.
I just wish every soldier in the world would refuse to take up arms.... but maybe that's impossible, as there are those self-made soldiers who so badly believe in what they are fighting for (those religious zealots, for one example)
There doesn't seem to be an answer for peace while the human race is so divided into boxes.... and we seem to be such a violent species on the whole...
great write, love it

'Each for the joy of the working, and each, in his separate star,
shall draw the Thing as he sees It, for the God of Things as They are.'
(Rudyard Kipling)

Thank you, I feel sorry for soldiers because their either forced to fight ( conscription etc ) or i believe they're brainwashed. Maybe someday we'll find an answer. Love Roscoe....
