The Machinations Of War

I tried to scream but they stifled the cry
Now I must watch the people die
And it’s game over in the extreme
As people wake up from the dream
And wonder what it is they have been doing
The empty hands they are pursing
In the hope that it will bring them gold
But they forget to look inside their soul
To find what’s there to share
The loaves and the fish and people care
About each other
A bomb drops and another mother
Hears her child’s stifled scream
For the last time as the seam
Is burst on the dress we sew
And there may be people in the know
But they can’t see what we are
I look over at him in my car
As we drive to the sunset in my sky
But I watched the fading from view lie
In wait for every summer sun
You wake up and you are the one
Who will be the endeavoured in the replete
The woman may have washed Jesus’ feet
With her hair
But were you there
When he let her be
And for free
Forgave what held her down
Like the men about the town
Who used her for what she could
Only sell in that type of wood
And the trees holds whispers still
Feel the weight of heavy will
Signal summer in the breeze
The weight is heavy but my knees
Can finally lift their stone
And if I must I will leave home
