RUMORS OF WAR <\/p>\n

He said, she said, yes, it happens all the time,
\nNations at war accuse each other of a dirty crime.
\nGenocide, infanticide and civilians blown to bits,
\nLying leaders on the news, throwing political fits.<\/p>\n

So many war atrocities, but it was the other side,
\nBending opinion constantly, taking us for a ride.
\nMoney at the center of it all, because profit is king,
\nSorry lads, go & die, you are just their play thing.<\/p>\n

Wars and rumors of wars, that is what Jesus said,
\nConfusion everywhere, what’s the number of dead?
\nDon’t you get tired of it, when will we see peace?
\nIt is the way of the world, wars will never cease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
