I saw a young man with only one leg, He was hoping around, his refugee tent, few possessions, he had, but he kept them all neat, in the displacement of war, a mind healing feat. And missiles they fly and shells, they explode, hospitals fall down in flames. houses in rubble, schools are on fire. and the western alliance conspires; for it's only those others who die. Rhetorical madness, parrots a 'right to defend', and buries a leg not alone, For mother, and father, little sister to, stare dead eyes from the wreckage of home. And missiles they fly and shells they explode, hospitals fall down in flames; houses in rubble, schools are on fire. and the western alliance conspires; for it's only those others who die. How is it a man crawls through sewage at night, can stand in the daylight so pure, While the western alliance cleans the stench from his clothes, for his war madness, there shall be no cure. And missiles they fly and shells they explode, hospitals fall down in flames; houses in rubble, schools are on fire. and the western alliance conspires; for it's only those others who die. People despised for decades will rise, oppression rots through to the bone, rally will fighters for freedom they'lll come they just want a land to call home. And missiles still fly, and shells still explode, hospitals are still in flames and the western alliance cares nothing at all, for it's only those others who die, only those others who die others who die.

It's Only Those Others Who Die
Where mountains fall upon their knees, and bow, do trees, so low; meander rivers, shyly by, where birds no longer fly; nor whistle in the treetops, sing in dawn's own light; all of nature cowers, beneath this evil might. Perhaps to nature's beauty, my ears, are now tone deaf; and horror in my eyes resides, to all else, am I blind. And oh, my thoughts, so vivid once, flee now from my mind: left of spirit, there is, but none, my being now is numb. Shall I wither, within my own despair, Or rise ye mountains, shout; stand ye trees, tall be proud; oh, rivers rage in flood? Whistle birds in treetops, sing upon the dawn; Remain shall I forlorn? Or shall I stand in natures house, and spill for her my blood.

Human Dilemma
The whole of the world cries sad tears tonight, and Earth is covered in flames, There"s a hole in the sky, shining fear in people's eyes, for heaven has no vacancies. heaven has no vacancies. Wounded are lying, where the sick are in flames. while children are educating brains but they stare with lifeless eyes, through that big hole in the sky, for heaven has no vacancies heaven has no vacancies. The boot of genocide, has now changed its foot, aligned on the leg of democracy to the ancestors shame, it's the victims we blame so heaven has no vacancies, heaven has no vacancies. Victims, they stand, with their terrorist and stare, through that big hole in the sky, and a sign it arrows down to the fires of hell, still, heaven has no vacancies Hell has vacancies.

That Big Hole In The Sky
blood is upon a nations heart when freedom allows killing machines to visit life destruction upon peaceful prayers upon innocence of learning upon street dwellers or music patrons democracy declares no external enemy but seeks election to power through divergence of culture in Earths citizens leaders inspire hatred when speaking differences putting guns in mentally fragile hands citizen at war with citizen guns reap death thoughts and prayers sustaining power.

Guns
Dearest family, feel no discomfort at my demise write no epitaph for my grave scratch my name on no remembrance page grieve not for me for I was always nothing. Ensconced in my warm comfort lounge I have followed footsteps of people, brave scaling heights, no human should endure weep no tears for me for I was always nothing. Never a general, have I been nor lowly rank and file marching ruin over peoples lives branding them enemy bombing enemies innocents, not me do not cry for me for I was always nothing. Hard, I have toiled for business men, who saw no worth in me honest and true, a life long economic fool, do not pray for me for I was always nothing. Loved for my life loved all my life my wife, my family, remember me I belong only to you for you all, have made me something forget me world for I was always nothing.

For I Was Always Nothing
Rise sweet flower, rainbow petals receive light from a brand new age, pure air human, filth is gone Stand tall, tree, see meadows grazing cattle, freely suckling young, terrorful age is over. Birds, troop colours, happily sing, usurper man, tamed mother has won war is done.

War is done
Mother Earth rolls her cool dark hemisphere into the light awakening life to the warmth of day Lovers walk the road of life pause where trees filter and split sun rays into elysian light embrace in a lovers moment and kiss the world outside of their love into oblivion Peace lasts forever No war, no hate, no prejudice just pure bliss Mother Earth rolls her hemisphere again into cool darkness lovers consummate their love as if for the first time always and sleep peaceful happiness Earth owes the warming sunlight for her life Lovers owe the warmth within their heart for the serenity of life and the world of experience, that illuminates their love. Love and Peace to all.

What We Owe To love
I release you now, from your incorporeal cell. Take your politics, your reason, I have no need for bagatelle And walk unfettered through the unlatched gate I wish no more, you to incarcerate. Regret, do I that we were foe, In the twilight of our existence, It should not be so. Forgive me? I forgive you Now hurry, go. Take the path towards the waxing moon. Fear not to hurry, to be there soon for I have cleared the debris of a ruinous past Race Creed Ideology You shall not trip now, on false theology. Calm is the light of a waxing moon Where a lover will, his loved one swoon. And steadiness comes to a raging bull In the softest light when the moon is full. But the orb that traverses the sky by day colours the world in so many a way that the path we take, leads to many a view- I categorized you. Imprisoned, I did, an idea Closed my mind, I fear to another point of view. So walk in the light of a waxing moon where there is no false or indeed, no true: just a peaceful world where shadows are dancing with you.Moon waxes to wane peace, tranquillity remain. Beautiful thought, beautiful world, released I have, not you, but me I am free.
