stop the war

this
new era of protests
serve to highlight
the plight of the working class
struggling to survive on our fragile planet

serfs / slaves
to feudal executives:
smiling, faceless multi-millionaires
(capitalist swine in an orwellian landscape)

a global society at the edge of a millennium
poised to enter a time of peace
or
 a time of war

it's up to us...

stand up and be heard!!

non-violence is the answer
the question is our fate


will we achieve peace
or 
will we
destroy ourselves

lemmings with televisions
blindly follow corrupt politicians
in a democracy lost

stand up and be heard

but remember: 
non-violence
is the only way
to achieve
peace

shout it to the rooftops
shout it to the heavens

stop  war!
s t o p  w a r !
s t o p  w a r !

"we should not allow ourselves be misled

by talk of

entering a time of peace

peace is not the absence of war

it is the absence of the rumors of war 

and the threats of war

and the preparation for  war

peace is not the absence of war

 it is a time when we will all bring ourselves

closer to each other 

closer to building a structure

that is unique within ourselves

because we have finally come to peace

within ourselves"

- gil scott-heron

peace is possible
