Mother War

The streets a plague of putrid pain run rapid with thoughts insane

Booze stricken bronze of Saturday night where brawls barrel blindly

Children beaten bruised and mother’s morning, milk is dry

Come home safe child but no answer screams of silence shutter shy

For blind night made them die shots were fired, fought and failed

Heavy bodies that hit the streets with a sound of metal noise

Dust and rubble Stained with red and white vomit from those who stand

Blue in face, blank in name madness is a game but…

Don’t worry mother they were honored, propped and poised

Now here’s your child’s dying wish to lie beneath rock and brick.

Clouds of grey wait and prey upon you now wet as reign

As you watch curtain draw you also watch flowers fall

One marked grave with his name is all you claim
