War
Do we not need
to know
what lays behind
those doors
where they speak
do we not need
to know
is hope
just a hollow word
to keep our light
dim
like a carrot on a stick
being led
by those
who we believe
will bring back hope
from the abyss
where within
our children's eyes
the light of hope
slowly dies
to know
what lays behind
those doors
where they speak
do we not need
to know
is hope
just a hollow word
to keep our light
dim
like a carrot on a stick
being led
by those
who we believe
will bring back hope
from the abyss
where within
our children's eyes
the light of hope
slowly dies

excellent - I remember seeing war as a child felt like my heart had been ripped out, hope never existed in me anyway but seeing war at that time destroyed my very being.
