See The Men

It's been years past, lives lost.

But come on back to...death.

The Oil Wars, the bleeding screams.

The souls wondering (aimlessly) over hot sand.

XxX

We don't (want to) know the morbid details,

We don't see charcoaled humans.

We don't know what's really going on.

We don't see the men crying. ( Pain. )

XxX

( But. They. Do.)

XxX

Excuse me little boy,

How old are you?

You're a young ( 13 ).

What such a pretty riffle you have.

XxX

Are we going to shoot him?

Of course we are!

We're under orders!

And he could be a threat!

XxX

( Even when our hearts we say..it's wrong. )

XxX

We're doing the right thing,

We can save a nation!

Even if we lose our soul.

We can save a nation!

XxX

"It's going to be okay."

Lies of the most vicious kind.

Take a flight and look yourself.

Brains on the street. ARE. NOT. OKAY.

XxX

(......or is it?)

XxX
