War
Nick sandusky 2001 (Las Vegas)
Guts and blood all soaked in mud
Bullet shells laying across the battlefield
Innocent men, now dead
All whom cried to see their mothers once more
Men who died for country
Men who died for peace
Corpses with sultry eyes come across my dreams
War is not the answer but peace is fulfilled
By violence
Or so it seems.
