Equality, What We Should Be

Equality, What We Should Be

So many we have lost
I guess that is the cost
Of fighting in a war
Not responsible for

Who gives to us the right
To take up arms and fight?
To dictate others' deeds
And determine their needs?

As a superpower
What if we turn sour?
Deciding to grab land
In which we have no hand

Civilizations fall
When royalty does call
To have all the power
In their iv’ry tower

Do we deceive all others
Supposedly brothers
To let us interfere
When our role is unclear?

A day will surely come
When there will become some
Unwilling to accept
The role in which they’re kept

They will want to be free
Total autonomy
Against us they will turn
Perhaps then we will learn

We’re not the very best
Let us give it a rest
Caring for our brother
Loving one another
