Absurdity

Fight for freedom,
For country and countrymen,
For valour and honour,
peace and quiet.
Do whatever it takes,
To prove your right,
and they're wrong.
Maim,
Slaughter,
Rape,
You do it in the name of righteousness,
So you know you're in the clear.
They do the same,
Polar opposites,
Coming together for one last glorious show.
They will point out our differences,
These harbingers of peace.
They will allow us to be truly human,
for what it's worth.
To shine in our ever dimming glory,
To kill the ever constant enemy until the end.
Because in the end,
The very end,
There's but one thing we all have in common,
Uniting men,
Woman,
Children,
Countries,
Enemies and friends,
One thing we vie for all of our lives,
One thing we yearn for in the back on our minds,
Mercifully giving it away whenever we can,
Death.
