Reconstruction

Sticks and stones may break my bones

Fires and screams and fading tones

Children are running from the fires of hell

A little old story Im dying to tell

A rotten of a smell

I t sure aint peace I’m trying to sell

Lies and fears and frightening cheers

Hanging from her  toes , split ear to ear

Almost reminds me like the cleaning of a deer

Till this day I still have that fear.

Our history is oh so clear

May say it’s far but feels so near…
