War poemA Poem by NobodyTwo children are born in a desert somewhere One called here The other called there And here is okay, he’s pretty and kind But there is a monster, he’s sick in his mind Here has a dog, and knows birds are for eating But there eats dogs, and thinks birds are for keeping So here builds a city to protect his people But the shadow is cast over there form the steeple Climb from the church, protect here from evil And there says listen You’re blocking the sun Here says you deserve it for all that you’ve done So there throws a rope to topple the tower Here retaliates with extraordinary power And here rains down all the fire from hell And burns all the crop and dries up the well And there’s some confusion of whos defending themselves And here has some books about that in his shelf But there has no pen and nobody to tell If it reads black and white it’s probably red And the living determine the truth of the dead There’s always a feeling of being deceived And here’s an idea that you choose to believe in Is soul determined by where it was born The language it spoke? Or the skin that is worn? Or we all just text in varying fonts? The same word imprinted with all the same wants And safety And dreams of family and trees And children and peace and honey and wheat But here has a promise it needs you to keep Just kneel at his flag and he’ll give you the dream Just promise you’ll fight whenever he needs Cuz there has to die for our living in peace It goes on like this for years and years Here says it’s okay there’s nothing to fear Just do as i say, god’s guidance is clear And when you get to heaven i’ll be there, i mean here © 2024 Nobody |
