Changes in the reasons for war in the past, present, and near future.
What happened to the good ol' days of war,
When we fought to save the poor.
How did our world go so wrong?
People, has it been that long?
You can't forget World War Two,
When we fought to save the Jews.
Now the world begins to boil,
As we fight to steal more oil.
An Empire hides behind its mask,
As it plans its brutal task.
We wonder why the East feels so mad,
When it seems that they've been had.
They threaten us and we feel scared,
Their righteous anger now has flared.
We have reigned, for far too long,
Acting like a white King Kong.
Stealing, Killing, Ruling too,
we're the lions of this zoo.
But when they say they've had enough,
Will we truly, be that tough?
In the end they'll have their way,
they can't wait until the day.
Our Empire burns into the ground,
as they roar their joyous sound.
They'll stand and watch our fallen King,
In their hearts his screams will ring.
And our rule shall be destroyed,
By the forces with which we once toyed.
Black and Brown, Yellow, Red,
The Rule of White will soon be dead.
I only hope that I shall be,
There to watch the captives freed.
