Hudson, Thames, Nile and Sindhu,
All are now red with the blood of the innocent.
Who is to blame for such catastrophe,
Everybody who accepts arms race as upliftment.
Suited savages have seduced them to believe,
That bigger the military greater the pride.
It’s necessary for politicians to sell nationalism,
Or else their loyal subjects will all get untied.
Acts of national security only breed insecurity,
Which forces people to seek comfort in weapons.
True, lasting stability and serenity of a nation,
Comes only from a universal desire for union.
Let the politicians sell war in the name of peace.
Why must the citizens buy it like rats chasing cheese!

Pick up a broom, not bombs,
Wield a mop, not weapons
of mass destruction.
Sacred minds make sacred society,
Peace comes when the very thought
of arms causes repulsion.

Heart is heaven,
Heart holds the Qi.
No magic, no myth, nothing supernatural,
just a whole lot of humanity.

Qi, Atman, Sentience, Corazon,
All are but varied names of humanity.
Put superstitions aside and you’ll find,
Just plain goodness is the supreme epitome.

Mop all menacing inhumanity out of your heart.
And society will be cleansed of all primeval dirt.

Any planet that confuses guns
with gallantry is a planet of apes.
Prioritizing military over education,
we only build a world full of terrorists.

Military is just legal terrorism,
To fathom this you gotta be human.
What do monkeys know of peace and love,
When guns are their emblem of patriotism!

We don’t need civilian disarmament,
We need absolute universal disarmament.
Only a worldwide ban on firearms production,
Can facilitate a paradigm of peaceful coexistence.

Let’s see which nation has the heart and backbone,
To legislate absolute ban on firearms manufacture!
Let’s see who are the first civilized people,
Let’s see which nation is the first peacemaker!

What’s the point of one ceasefire,
Let’s pull the plug on all war.
Let’s disband all military, and siphon
those funds to housing, education and healthcare.

The same paradigm that produces
soldiers, produces terrorists.
In fact, soldiers are just
government approved terrorists.

Till the military is the most
dishonorable profession on earth,
you can forget about world peace,
forget about peaceful coexistence.

Military are the real terrorists,
regular terrorists are the byproducts,
all manufactured by state leaders,
sponsored by jungle civilians.

Love of country is the root of all war,
Every patriot is a potential terrorist.
Learn to love the world as one country,
The paradigm will shift from war to peace.

Ceasefire is a diplomatic gimmick,
They cease only to hit back harder.
Demilitarization is what we need,
We got no use for one more ceasefire.

Ceasefire only postpones war,
disarmament instills peace.
Armistice empowers armament,
demilitarization plants peace.

Tyrants don’t call truce to allow aid,
but only to rearm themselves,
so they can call in more ammunition,
from their apely imperialist friends.

One more ceasefire we could do without,
World is wailing for the final ceasefire.
Disown every statesman who prides military,
Builders of military are merchants of murder.
