as i turn on the evening news
Drip....
Drip.Drip

My Heart Bleeds
Drip....
Drip....
Drop

My Brother fought for Freedom
Ending His battle in Paradise
Drop....
Drop....
Drip

My Sister cries " Give me Rights!"
They strip her on the street, rape her and put her in prison
Drip.Drip.Drip.Drip.Drip.Drip.
Drop...
Splash

My Mother, Screams out " My Son! My Son, they are taking him away"
Drip.Drip.Drop.Drop
Splish.Splish.
Splash..sh..sh

"Feed Me" "My Baby is Dead"
Lovingly Buried on the Side of the Road
11
The Blood
From Afghanistan runs clear to
Somalia
It joins The Great River Nile, flowing into
Palestine
The Republic of Congo's Blood
Soaked soil
gives nourishment to the
Mexican Drug Cartels
111
Forgive Us Great Creator
for we Do NOT Want to Know
Forgive us Great Provider
for it is our Greed that makes it So
Forgive us The Most Merciful
and let that Blood Flow
