When The Sky Was Blue

When the sky was blue I was but a tot
playing in the parking lot
all 4 seasons came at their given time
stealing a candy bar was a major crime
fun was the order of day
25 cents went a long way
just watching the air planes take off
into the sky
me wondering whats above those clouds
so high
When the sky was blue the air
was fresh
knew nothing of the meshing
of flesh
I never knew of an Ozone and
my castle was our home
going to school was cool
now killing fellow students the rule
somewhere on the way I was off
to war
half way around the world
very far
killing a man I never knew
When the sky was blue everything
was okay
somewhere in between the sky turned
dark and gray
Let us pray it doesnt stay
that way
