-=Bombs=-

as the bombs drop
as the seconds tick
something in my mind slips
the soldiers below
looking up
what have they done wrong
forced by a ruler
just a pawn
too patriotic
to a system corrupt
bullets fly by screaming
while my breath is stuck.

Why must people die
why must mothers cry
when all our rulers lie?
why are we all pawns in this sick game of chess?
who will be left to stand when nothing is left?

tattered banners
torn up flags
floating bitterly over body bags
front lines empty
the soldiers all dead
and the bombs keep falling
inside my head
who invented this system
of killing your neighbor
why is this something that our leaders savor?
and why must we excuse their renegade behavior...

I know its not right
but why must we fight?
why spend our time paying
for their crime?

And the bombs hit....
