Though many of their love of it openly brag
The flag of a Nation to me just a flag
And since reasons for war I have never excused
Of being non patriotic I do stand accused
Since Nationalism and Patriotism are things I can live without
My worth as a person many who know of me do doubt,
These wars over religion and wars over land
Are things that I do find hard to understand,
Since intolerance of difference to fear does give rise
That war has not gone out of fashion is not a surprise
Many so called wise elders war do glorify
But then wisdom to age does not always apply
That war leads to freedom and peace of course based on a lie
Yet many young people for such beliefs do die.
