Where are the shouts for peace and stop the war
That once echoed off the mountain tops you remember
Were they washed away with our last thread of innocence?
On that world stopping day on that dark September
The boys and girls follow the stars in stripes into death
I hear no massive protest yet somewhere mother’s still weep
I hear no talk of with-drawl, nor no declaration of all out war
World leaders only hang their heads in bored feigned sleep
Babies are babies no nationalities in their orphaned cries
Just little children dying because of politician’s lies
It was all Sadam we were told so many times in past
Now he’s been captured fresh doubt must be cast
There are times that war is truly justified in this world
It’s then civilized countries stand side by side to fight
Yet when you look around you in this war you see
Your normal allies though-out history aren’t in sight
So perhaps it’s time to question the mighty on the throne
Is there the plan for this war to end?
And why do you stand so all alone?

BUT: I will support the troops, they are only following orders. I wish we could all just get along.....

Is there an ending in plan? We are just as in the dark as you..we just keep praying that day will eventually arrive.
Excellent write Felix.
