Answer the Cries
What is our answer
to the cries, the tears,
for those who've fallen.
Echoed wails,
speak the tales,
of carnage and destruction.
Seek a truth,
from shattered lives,
and that, to quell the anger?
Histories tilt,
wars broken trail,
the insanity, prevails!
Black and blue, filthy skies,
smoldering clouds of death,
shall in time, dissipate,
as soldiers draw last breath.
Conflict reins, seems our fate,
no answer for the cries.
Peace on earth, can't arrive,
while, fomenting hate!
