My Blood Shall Have Not Lied

My blood shall tell                                                                            
the verity of war

The war                                                                                           
daft, averse and tyrannous                                                                
The war                                                                                                
which had no salutary purpose                                                         
The war                                                                                         
woven around manic minds                                                             
The war                                                                                            
without any heads, any hinds   

Innocent lives which                                                                                       
were traumatized                                                                   
Ingenuous minds which                                                                                 
were terrorized                                                                         
Never did anyone gain anything from this war of yours 
Which left several reeling and crying for the lost in wars

The vision of your deed -                                                                                       
wry and cold                                                                                         
The vision of your need                                                                            
which may withhold

Still my blood reveals                                                                            
the real truth inside                                                                           
My blood shall
