Nuclear Codes in a Human Heart

Our puny minds can’t comprehend
The sheer amount of suffering
Can you imagine just a thousand lives
Their experiences erased

One death, a tragedy
A million, a statistic
It’s cause we’re removed
Not cause we’re sadistic
We’ll use grains of rice
To help you visualize
The evils we do
When we can’t realize

How many lives have you truly touched
The smallest fraction of those who’vе died
Systematic deaths as if at a slaughtеrhouse
To say nothing of their pain before

One death, a tragedy
A million, a statistic
It’s cause we’re removed
Not cause we’re sadistic
We’ll use grains of sand
To help you realize
The evils we do
When we can’t visualize

Nuclear codes kept in a human heart
Force your leaders to kill with bare hands
To truly understand the consequence of war
To rethink the disconnect of mass death

Those on the ground just follow orders
Submit to authority blindly
Could we find a way to make it personal?
Could we rehumanize?

Our minds have not evolved
To make decisions like these
So it’s easy to slaughter millions
Just to prove a point
