One

One

One gun, one pull, one death.
One dream - shattered in life.
One time to sacrifice.

One God, one son, one idol.
One John, one King, one Bob.
One nation, no value on life.

One moon, one race, one won.
One rat, one slum, one drug.
One hungry nation, no food, no homes.

One era, no time to change.
One law to protect one life.
One hunger for one moon sacrifice.
One man, one bomb, one push.
Dust, heat, fire, earth no more.
