Dying in vain

angela battais 1970 (Chicagoland)

Ballad
Machine guns roaring down the fieldway, genocide, sex trafficking and other family members of my being, dead everywhere, raping everywhere, concentration camps, bombing of schools, homes that were decorated for the holidays, dead people's money everywhere, not much left of the living, just signs of the dead, dying in vain.
