Again
A baby goes off to war
god against god
good against evil
a mother cries
a sister cries
again
they walk strong
with righteousness leading the way
justice in their heads
fear in their hearts
and blood on their hands
again
the buildings must fall
the sirens must ring
the fire must burn
ashes to ashes
dust to dust
again
the blade digs in deep
and twists to the left
and to right
a mother cries
a sister cries
again
the laughter is silenced
the innocence spoils
nightmares surround
another war
another child
lost
again
9/2001
