Baghdad n' Basra

the concrete crumbles
midst a thousand infant cries.
Blood-black clouds
a familiar
shroud
blankets our human sky.
The war machine,
the
TV screen
the emptiness inside;
and the heart that
would not hate
must surely break with the weight
of
love, lying there still,
in the ruins of
a new
day
dawning.
(on a)
Pile of stone
scattered
bones
tank tracks in the sand.
Survivors collect
the
seeds of lives wrecked
another poor nation staggers to
stand.
The bomb-factory
in the land of the free:
the
lifestyle on which we stand
sinking slow
so far to
go.
The light of tommorrow
spreads gently and
warm.
Thirst grips the town,
pumps broken
down:
silent, the gathering disease.
How many
dead
shall be on our head
before we get up off of our
knees?
(and say)
Neither the butcher
nor the
Bushwacker king
shall define our destiny:
the courage
to stand
and hold out our hand...
the cradle of LOVE
we're searchin' for...
we're searchin for.
