Take a fancy celebrity,
put them in military uniform,
suddenly everybody is a patriot.
That’s how primitive this world is,
everybody yells about world peace,
while living in militarist gutter.
The best propaganda is one that,
does not feel like propaganda;
Best way to legally recruit terrorists,
is to portray terrorism as valor.
Best way to sustain the revenues of war,
is to showcase war as peace-intervention.
Till you grow up and denounce all militarism,
don’t you dare call yourself a civilized human!
We scientists, doctors, nurses and teachers,
forget self-preservation for life-preservation,
while primitive civilians of a primitive planet,
throw all that away, hypnotized by patriotism.

Educate your children never to serve your nation;
to serve the nation makes monkey out of human,
killing on the basis of nationality and religion.

If you wanna serve your nation,
serve through science, serve through art,
serve through music, literature, industry,
but never through military.

However, if you wanna make crime your career,
with all the glorious decorations –
kill one person, it’s murder –
kill in bulk, it’s patriotism.

Soldiers are just glorified webcam models,
standing erect to serve political libido.
Be the human your flesh appears to be,
or go back to the jungle, your mind is suited so.

Science, arts, music, innovation,
that’s how you serve a nation.
There is no greater dipsomaniac
profession, than militarist infestation.
