    a global generation that won’t be storming any beaches or cities would be a blessing for the world

    imagine a generation in russia that just keeps doing what they do instead of listening to an old psychopath in Moscow who decides that it would be “good” to send hundreds of thousands to their deaths to bring death and destruction to millions of others

    being peaceful is not a shame!

      There is also no shame in fighting to demilitarize a dictatorship or tear down a theocracy, though. Tolerance ends with the Intolerant, I only hope that the Zoomers understand that at least as well as Millennials.

      Song

      Translation

      How much years unending

      Slaughters inhumane

      On children fall from sky

      Bombs as bunch of anger

      Tanks’ place is in museums

      Let them quietly rust there

      Body of mother is scarred

      Warriors’ place is in romance

      Wars are not glory

      Groans in bloody mess

      Tears, dirt on uniform

      Wars don’t have a place in the world

      Tanks’ place is in museums

      Let them quietly rust there

      In tales of old empires

      People don’t belive anymore

      “Homo homini lupus est” is what we said when

      Voice of reason was silent in world and war raged everywhere

      When lives were worthless, people were seen only as soldiers

      And entire world was turning to burning hell

      Why didn’t we become smarter Isn’t it’s time already

      To understand as a matter of fact that more important

      For hammer of war to stop clutter

      Tanks’ place is in museums

      Let them quietly rust there

      Even as toys

      Kids don’t need to know them
