Guns And Terror

We can dance on the graves,

Sing out our praise,

Scream out our pain,

But we just want peace.

The sign says run,

Oh the sign says run,

Run from the guns,

Run from the men at arms.

It was a fine day,

Until they came,

Screaming out there terror,

The nation of hate built this.

The sign says run,

Oh the sign says run,

Run from the guns,

Run from the men at arms.

We know its begun,

From the crack of the guns.

Scream out our pain,

Oh we just want peace.

Author's Note

Well okay I wanna explain why I wrote this. I got a few of the lines from the song by The Airborne Toxic Event 'Welcome to our wedding day' When I read the lyrics to check I was singing to song right I just had to write this song. Thanks :)

Really nice write especially interesting with it being a idea and written from hearing and looking at the lyrics of a song. You picked up a really nice write doing that. I love the repetition, and it seems so powerful. Good write.

Real nice. But I think it's more lyrical than poetic. =D

Wow, this was a nice and interesting poem. I agree with Jupiter Jazz a song called 'Welcome to our wedding day" does sound like the last lyrics you would ever hear. Great write.

THIS is from a song called, "Welcome to Our Wedding Day???" Wow... that seems like a wedding that ends in a funeral...
It's very interesting and intense. Full of emotion. Very picturesque

I thought it was quite a nice poem until I realised some of the lines were from a song. Still a well written poem, and nice to see you write about something like this.
