Pointless war

Contributed by Jakenstein on Wednesday, 29th December 2004 @ 09:49:20 PM in AEST
Topic: war



Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before

Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way we've always done before

We don't need your pointless war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
We don't need your pointless war
We're not gunna take it anymore

Look at the shoes we're filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before

Look at the darkness hollow
Look at the leaders we follow
Look at the shame we swallow
And I don't want to take it anymore

We walk the walk with brainwashed pride
We set all of our feelings aside
Continuing on after our friends have died
This pointless war we can not hide

Look at what we're doing
Look at the country we're "renewing"
Look at the people booing
All this for a pointless war

Look at the oil we're stealing
Look at what they're feeling
Look how no one's healing
Anyone in this pointless war

We only think of our greed
We don't think of their need
We've come to plant our seed
For our wallets we must feed

"War is pointless" tell that to the soldiers risking their lives everyday for a pointless war its only for you. Don't forget that these soldiers joined the military out of their own free will. That government money isn't just for your college fund. I see alot of talk on here. Wheres the action. "We want action".
Good day

Guns and Roses CIvil War: "Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before


Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before

Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more "


Yours: "Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before

Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way we've always done before

Look at the shoes we're filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
"

HEY, looks like it was already made into a song... I don't think it is a good idea to pass someone elses work off as your own!!!!

And all wars are not pointless. My husband did not join the military for no reason....

I did not realize that I had done this till it was pointed out to me. I have heard the song a few times, so i guess thats where i got the inspiration to write this but i didn't know i took that much from it. If you read all my other poems you will know i always write similar to this...with repeated phrases or words...i promise i will be careful from now on and watch what i'm writeing....so i guess i should give credit to guns n roses for this poem then....i'm truly sorry..it will never happen again

I enjoyed it....... It was easy to read but had a really powerful message ...... Aty first i found the very systematic rhyme scheme a little off putting but as i read on i found that it fitted really well , added something to the poem with the reapetation of those lines '' the way weve always done before ''........ I think it would work brillliantly as a song .......
