Fools


As the men on Earth
Cannot agree on a sole rule
Division prevails and one fights
For a cause or another
Until all settle 
And through UNION comes
Answer to all questions 

Down on Earth
The greys against the blues
And the next day
The reds against the greys
And then again
Reds against the blues
Is it farce?

The gods agree
"These fools deserve their fate!"
Until the one lesson is learnt
You fight me
And I fight you
For the sake of holding opinions
To conquer or deliver
United in division
As strife is the rule
And peace the exception

For a flag or a nation
For a tribe or a leader
For a blade of grass or a precious stone
Over a border, a tradition
Over a word or a question
East against west 
Then south Vs. north
Foolish mess!

Down on Earth
Brothers fight one another
As I have my opinion
And you have the right to hold your own
All stand united against wisdom

Until the one lesson is learnt
Men thrive on hatred
As fighting makes them feel alive
And through strife they feel important
Their muscles flexed
The weapons held above their heads
As symbols of strength
All united in division

Fools!

In disputes the men of Earth
Feel no longer
The true nagging questions
Intelligence becomes weapon
Rather than the one true solution
Until the one lesson gets learnt
Fights for the sake of dominion
Until the fools settle on Life
And feel the strength of true UNION

As through union 
Solved all equations

As through union
Overpowered the weapons

And deliverance and freedom
And power over alienation
Through minds united only are born
