“Be The Unpatriot (Naskaristana 2803)

One soldier's medal is another soldier's widow,
one soldier's glory is another soldier's orphan.
One nation's victory is another nation's mourning,
one family's felicitation is another family's trauma.

Soldiers pay the price, civilians pay the price, but
one particular creature always comes out with a profit,
it's the politicians - there's a fortune in warmongering,
if they can just sell fear in the name of patriotic duty.

So here I am, the idiot earthling,
begging you on my knees - grow up,
be human enough to be the unpatriot,
be a stain upon the nation's flag.

If your corpse can be covered with just one flag,
it's a sacrifice wasted in political theatre -
when nations join hands to honor your fall,
know that you've finally ascended human.”
