a life lost

 

The bullet from the gun

Lays still in your chest

Your face cold and alone

This war isn’t something that we can condone

Promises that it will be all right

Tell me when there won’t be a need to fight

 

So many lives are lost

Bodies lying alone and forgotten

This war has such a big cost

Please enlighten me

To why these lives have the key

Isn’t there another way for us to plea?

 

For you to lie so still

And for me to watch your blood spill

All for them to rewrite history

The reasons will always remain a mystery

Although you’ll be remembered as a hero

Your story written in The Metro

 

Your Name unknown

Your life lost in a war zone
