No Excuses Recited

There are no excuses For the mess in our world The reasons for wars Leaves my head in a whirl. Why cant we live in peace Why do we have to fight There are no excuses For not getting it right. Our law makers Should hide their head The shame of their decisions Leaving people dead We send our boys to fight A cause we don't yearn What excuse do we give When they don't return They die heroes what a farce They gave their lives for an excuse so sparse. .......... No more excuses ,too late ,they're dead.......... https://www.dropbox.com/s/26kg6b795ydr1qn/NO%20EXCUSES.wmv
