Enemies Defined
Valiant we stand over enemies defined
The lives we laid down weigh heavy on our minds
Years of defiance, hatred and pain
The countless dead like drops of rain
Death and destruction, toil and despair
Fear from above as bombs fall through the air
War is defined as living in hell
to settle misgivings to which were compelled
Casualties of war, refugees in flight
Mothers embrace children as they cry in the night
War is a festering disease with nary a cure
Peace is a blessing we all can endure
let hatred end and peace reign supreme
before the world as we know it becomes only a dream
