All the men in me want war And the eye that is bathed in the baptism in the sunrise Also wants to be the heart that has no pain. Calm down son, calm down. But there is no calm or down here. I just have to remember what was said. What was spoken. I think it was a whisper, I hope it was a shout They placed hands on me Because they were peacekeepers. But no good can happen When you don’t just want war You are battle. So when you have to sign treaties You sigh and say Now I want peace but these men in me won’t lay down their arms. Even though they  are so depleted. These canines of burden only now have the stones in front to throw And I’m now a glass house.
