• Soldiers going off to war
    death to the fallen
    homeless are the civilians
    greenery blackened and sand burned
    politics push on

    Soldiers going off to war
    mother's crying
    children screaming
    wives with swollen eyes
    politics push on

    Soldiers going off to war
    death is knocking at the door
    oceans of lost limbs and minds
    left behind and suffering
    politics push on

    Soldiers going off to war
    media buzzes and stories come
    Britteny shaved her head
    The Smith's are getting married
    Oscars and award ceremonies
    politics push on

    Soldiers going off to war
    no one cares
    death toll rises
    fatalities are infinite
    politics push on

    Soldiers going off to war
    refugees cry over the ashes that were their families
    children enslaved and raped
    blood covers their streets
    politics push on

    Soldiers are coming home
    families cries with joy
    refugees bring an order to their lives
    they try to fix their broken minds and bodies
    politics push on
