Distant Shores
As I watch the people,
You wouldn't know there's a war,
Everyone going about their day,
Just the same as before.
The cannons are booming,
Lives are taken away,
But in the faces I see,
It's just another day.
I believe this won't change
Until our foe is at our door,
Only when bodies fall,
Will we realize the horror.
I know life must go on,
But people seem so cavalier,
In the past, war declared,
At least there was healthy fear.
Only in America,
That most choose to ignored,
That our brave soldiers,
Are dying on distant shores
