Peace or War

 

I could kill, I know I could

I've seen it in me

Felt it there

Hidden deep inside

 

I keep it there,

Where no one sees

Chained up

Because that's where it belongs

 

It's wrong to kill

I remember being told

Wrong to kill babies, dogs or cats

(no one wants to eat them)

 

So – when did it change?

When did we decide that to kill's OK?

When we all do it together,

That's a mob.

 

Vengeance, despingnce

Revention, divention

Bloodshed, spludshead

Yes! I made those up

 

Seems there's a lot of it going about
