The Rumble Of War

I’m afraid to go to sleep
Because I don’t know what I will wake up to in the morning
And I lie in my warm bed
With silence outside my window
I keep thinking of the ones
Who cannot dive any deeper
The ocean just won’t hold them
In this sea of despair
Do people care
Enough to say no
No, I will not let this go
Into the night
As though it’s alright
Is the call of our times
To lay down the fight
That used to burn in us
And trust
Appears to be shattered
As a community remains to be battered
By tanks and guns
While somewhere, somebody loses their sons
To the war machine
Wake up to the lie that holds the dream
Together while I fall apart
But dare I not close my heart
To the sigh of pain
I never thought this would happen again
