A Dead Soldier’s Point Of View

Kingdoms will rise and kingdoms will fall

Where are the leaders to answer this call?

The lust for power being driven by greed

Truth unfolds, the people must be freed

What do generals and politicians know?

The soldiers die and their blood flows

The men and women give their lives

Lost sons and daughters, husbands and wives

No Politician’s words can justify their strife

This death and destruction that just steals life

Rulers have known that war is a forsaken thing

I will accept you, but can you accept me?

We must join together, walk hand and hand

May our children live in peace in every land
