Battle Cry
Leaders yell, Leaders scream, taking no more.
Men howl, men swear, calling out for war.
Soldiers march, Soldiers pray, going to face death.
women weep, women wait, holding their breath.
Soldiers stalk, Soldiers charge, running to the wire.
Leaders yell, leaders scream, commanding them to fire.
Bullets sing, Bullets whine, flying all around.
Bombs sail, Bombs burst, slamming into the ground.
Troops scream, troops fall, help a wounded friend.
People cry, people cheer, praising the wars end.
Soldiers march, soldiers smile, walking along so proud.
Women wave, women wink, yelling their love aloud.
Leaders watch, leaders wait, planning the next war.
Soldiers watch, soldiers wait, wanting peace more.
