I see no need for this violence
Its crazy, stupid and senseless
It turns the capable to powerless
And the strong to defenseless

It screams are the killings from the merciless
The shots in the air are the shells becoming a known emptiness
The cold bodies in the mud, left lifeless
And the wounded left homeless

And I can’t begin to pretend to be sightless
I can’t turn a blind eye and fake righteousness
And I won’t sit by ideally and say I’m fearless
When, if I were, I would be out there do something to priceless…

If I were I would be saving the lives of those left behind
And I would search for what generations before us could never find.
Peace.
