DO THEY EVER WONDER?
Do they ever sit and wonder
How the clocks weep as they spin
How centuries vanish in a flash
While children pay for ancestral sin?
They fight for names carved into dust
For borders drawn in brittle trust
For myths and maps that time outlives
Yet take from those who have no more to give.
Land! Identity!
But what is pride if it costs our sanity?
Why trade your soul for your name
Then call it home while bleeding alone?
Don’t they see? Can’t they feel?
There’s more to life than iron and steel.
More than blood spilled to prove who's right,
In a war where day is darker than night.
