killed in the war

killed in the war

why does she lie so stilled so silent innocent and young
the grieving does not cease the sorrow does not cleanse
it’s because she was killed in the war in a life not begun
a war which comes from peace where distinction blends
why is his body torn and rent so beyond any recognition
the horrors that can not end terrors continue on and on
a war in which the breath spent is lost in each repetition
of words history cannot bend as time has gone and gone
why do the ghosts haunt us lingering in mute accusation
the blind eyes see through gods men’s lies hide the truth
a war created to simply taunt us to disguise the situation
as every evil that we brew drowns us in a proof of youth
why does life flee so easily abandoning the body to death
the war of devils and angels absconding each final breath
