Words On War

               WORDS ON WAR

What Are Children Learning In School ?
And What Are The Teachers Teaching ?
Have We Broken Every Golden Rule ?
What Message Are We Conveying ?
Do The Children Say The Pledge Of
Allegiance Anymore ?
Do They Know Of Prayer ??
And Who They're Praying To ???

Video Games , Corrupt Preachers
And Movie Heroes , They're All Teachers
Control The Child's Mind
While It's Still In Development
It's Not A Crime
If It's Run By The Government

Infiltrate The Infant
For About Twenty Years
War And Politics
Is All They See And Hear

What Will Happen
To This Video Generation ?
Will Star Wars Become Reality ?
Is War The Next Sensation ?

Acting As If War Is A Party
Don't Send Me An Invitation.....

          GAMES

A Quarter In The Slot
Computerized Harmony
Endless Dashes And Dots
Machines Earning Money

A Fine Tuned Instrument
With Point Spread So Wide
You Have Your Own Implements
You're Alone On Your Side

Intruders Are Scattered
A Battle To Fight
Push Button Protection
A Beam Of Light

Electronic Enemies
Digital Delays
Computerized Calamity
A Splattered Static Stain

Engaging In Battle
With A Mindless Machine
Eliminate Your Enemies
On A Video Screen

Intricate Technology
Within Their Hands
Observe The Children
Living In A Wonderland

Games Are For Children
Wars A Dangerous Game
Death The Only Desire
I'm A Child
Come Play With Me
Ready , Aim , Fire.....

PUZZLED

Puzzle Of Ten Thousand Pieces
Each Needing Another
Unlike The People Of My World
Watch Us Kill One Another

Who's To Say You're A Better Man Than I
Should We Not Act Like Sisters And Brothers
Worthy Am I To Take Another's Life
One Better Than The Other

Come Share My Thirst For Malice
A Tooth For A Tooth
An Eye For An Eye
We Kill Without Prejudice
Much Better For I
That You Should Die.....

                      WAR

         I'm Sitting In The Sand
     My Head Within My Hands
     I Gaze Out Upon The Ocean
Humanity I No Longer Understand

Battle Ships Upon The Water
As Guns Rule The Ground
All This Senseless Slaughter
Yet It's Nothing New I've Found

       Cities Burn In Flames
       As The Ashes Smolder
Death Upon The Faceless Names
Does The Heart Get Any Colder

World War One
Who Really Won
World War Two
Was Nothing New
World War Three
Shall Put Us All At Peace

Smashing Waves
As I Kneel And Pray
Is Mankind So Crazed
As To End All Our Days

Take A Life
Take Us All
We Live , We Stand
We Parish , We Fall

War , War
Let's Have One More
Threaten The World
With No World At All
Madness On The Rise
As We Watch The Nations Fall

Taking Our Last Chance
Forsaking Our Children's Lives
Is It The Push Of A Button
Or The Pull Of The Trigger

No One Profits From War
Other Than The Undertaker
And The Gravedigger

As The Bullets Still Fly
I Sense That God Is Crying
And I Ask Myself Why
Love Is Always Denied.....

      ARE WE INVITED ?

Do We Refuse Our Own Virtues ?
Do We Value Our Lives ?
Does Peace Lie Within Power ?
Or A Dignified Demolition Device ?

Federal Funding For Nuclear Arms
The Earths Termination At Our Expense
Who Are We That We Should Be
Left Unharmed ?
And Who Shall Pay The Consequence ?

Opposing Nations In A Race To The End
Their Precious Bombs In Exultation
Perhaps I'm To Ignorant To Comprehend
Are We All Invited To Witness The End ?????


      IN GOD WE TRUST

Ashes To Ashes , Dust To Dust
      We Speak These Words
           In God We Trust

American Anger , The Russian Fist
      Yet It Only Takes A Finger
      To Do Something As This

         The Barriers Of Resistance
          Hold The Sands Of Time
Should We Extinguish Our Existence
 Who Gets Charged For This Crime

Nuclear Fission , The Split Decision
Push The Button If You Insist
Have Some Respect , We'll Still Exist

These Words I Speak
Bring All To Their Feet
For These Words I Trust
Turn Truth To Rust

Atom Bombs Keep Two Countries
Strong And Calm
Russian Roulette , The American Dream
Place Your Bet
It's As Bad As It Seems

Now The Atomic Blast
Forget The Future
Forget The Past
Truth Turns To Torture
Truth Turns To Rust

Ashes To Ashes
Dust To Dust
Political Truth Turns To Rust

IN GOD WE TRUST.....


      WORLD WAR BLUES

Behold The Suffering Of Humanity
Through The Eyes Of The World
Such A Tragic View
Watch As We Kill Each Other
For Our Countries Sake
The Cast Is Our Children
In This Political Play

We Vote For Our Leaders
They Lead Us To War
For This Answer I'm A Seeker
Do We Even Know
What We're Fighting For ?

Our Leaders Fight
For Causes Dear To Their Hearts
Yet Very Far From Their Homes
We're Sent Off To Battle
As They Sit Upon Their Thrones

They Send Us Overseas For Our Final Days
Expendable Soldiers Charging Into
Battle Only To Lose Their Lives
For The Land In Which We Were Born
Is The Land For Which We Shall Die

I'd Like To Die Another Day
But This Day Is Mine
Life's Door Closes Behind Me
For This Is The End
Time To Meet My Maker
This My Soul To Send
My Expiration Shall Bear
No Fate Upon This World
To My Country My Life I Lend

So Tell Me,
Has Humanity Ever Known Peace ?
All Our Dreams Come Crashing Down
Feel The Tears Of The World
As War Destroys Another Generation

The Politicians Thank You For Your
Dead Child's Participation , You Get
A Flag And A Tombstone In Arlington
So They Can Justify Their Expectations

Mortality Reigns Forever
As All Are Born To Die
Through The Eyes Of The World
We May Feel The Tears
Yet We Still Don't Hear
The Soldiers Cries

This World Treated Them Unkind
Their Families
Their Loves , Their Lives
They've Left Behind.....


FOR PEACE WE'VE FORGOTTEN

As I Fall Into The Deep Dark Sleep
An Angel Offers Me Her Hand
She Tells Me Death Is Not For Keeps
And Yet For Me The World Weeps

We Live In A Chaotic World
Whats The Purpose Of War
Fields Full Of Invisible Soldiers Spirits
Asking "What Did We Die For ?"

War Is Such A Waste Of Time
Death By The Thousands
Church Bells Chime For The Unknown Soldier
I No Longer Understand

All This Pointless Death
What Happened To Common Sense
Send Our Loved Ones Home In Boxes
For Another Lands Defense

No Gold Or Pile Of Paper Money
Will Ever Buy Back A Life
Ask The Crying Widow
For They Once Shared Life

Misery Haunts The Soldiers Family
For Father Now Lies In His Grave
His Wife And Children Inherit A Flag
And Pray His Soul Was Saved

The Path Of War Leads Us Nowhere
For What Cause Are We Fighting
We Create Pain Exchanged For Despair
So Let's Keep Killing Each Other
Until There's Nobody There

A Solution Would Be A Compromise
Yet The Politicians Need To Feed Their Ego
Eliminate The Problem Before It Arises
Make Peace A Policy , Let The World Know !

Are Laws Created For A Reason ?
Our Currency States "In God We Trust"
Our Government Speaks Of Freedom
Yet In War They Trust.

Peace Is Left In Pieces
Another Tank Destroys A Town
Do We Need Another Prince Of Politics
Or Another Clown With A Crown

Yet Peacekeepers Get Shot In The Head
For Speaking The Words They Once Said
If You Seek Peace , Hide Within The Light
Or You Also Shall Be Found Dead.

This Is The World Man Has Created
For Not Following God
For The Self Righteous Are Jaded
The Ways Of The Lord Long Forgotten

Peace Is A Concept
Our Leaders Are A Joke
Has Peace Ever Been ?
In Our World Peace Is Broke

If You Don't Follow The Leader
You're Breaking The Rules
If You Don't Believe In Politics
You're An Outcast , A Fool

So Start Another War
You'll No Longer Need To Feed The Poor
And As I've Said Before;
War , War , Let's Have One More
Soon We'll Have No World
Worth Fighting For

Peace Lies In Pieces
Our Guns Are Our God
The Prince Of Peace
Cries As He Watches

FOR PEACE WE'VE FORGOTTEN.....



                  HOPE

The Bloody Swords Of Vengeance
      Mark The Wars Of History
      The Greedy Rulers Ponder
    The Death Writ At Their Feet

And The Less Fortunate Of Us
Legally Murder In Their Name
Pulling The Trigger Of Prejudice
    For All Within War Is Pain

Yet My Spirit Marches On
With A Scar Upon My Soul
As I Kill The Poor Peasants
   It's Mercy I With Hold

And I'll Be Praying An Eternity
To My God  , My Soul To Save
For It Haunts Me Every Morning I Wake
That I'm The One To Blame

Shame Shall Visit My Memory
For The Endless Days To Come
I Shall Relive Every Moment
Of The Sin That I Have Done

So I'll Keep Praying To The Endless One
To Forgive This Monster I've Become
And Now Sorrow Fills My Soul
As I Clutch My Crucifix
I Will Not Deny What I Have Done

But My God Does Forgive

I Was There Within The Battle
I'm Sorry I Chose Myself To Live
I Can't Deny What I Had Become

But My God Does Forgive !

So Please Breathe Upon Me Gently
Oh , My Sweet Saviors Breath
And Although I May Have Died
Tell Me It's Not My Death......
