I have spent decades waiting for you to remember
Past the bombs and bullets
Past the warfare made easier
By the fast talking politicians
The Patrician and prodigal preachers

On to me
Screaming in the back of your head
Pleading
But you continue marching on into the dark
Breaking my ever human heart
My voice fading still praying and saying
I love you, please stop it

Until I am gone and the madness goes on
No more conscious cause you killed it
Forgot how to feel it and your humanity is dead
