I agree with you! This is an anti-war song and my favorite Neaera song too. "Violence, the language of the weak" is my favorite line. It is always easier to destroy than create. You can wipe out an entire city with mass destruction weapons in one day, but to build a city it takes many years. People who choose violence are to weak to find a better solution. Real might is to create, but not to destroy: "Let the pen be mightier, than the sword"
P.S. "The pen is mightier than the sword" is a metonymic adage coined by Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1839 for his play Richelieu; Or the Conspiracy.
