for those who build the machines of war

arming violent groups
to commit more violence
will not end the violence

it simply helps the war machine
build more machines for war

any group that uses religion
as a tool to conform the masses
to their particular form
of propaganda
is simply trying to control minds
through mythological means
via bullets and bombs
and beheading
while claiming to be holy
and above the centralized conspiracy
known as government

any government that perpetuates
the movement of the gears of war
is only interested in net units sold
at the cost of innocent lives

the value of such things
can only be calculated in dollars
and cents with profit margins
tallied to the richest of the rich

above all else,
fear sells
for peace does not
garnish profits

rather than dropping bombs,
let us bombard them with
books and bread-
feed the body and mind
and let the fallout
be as it may
