war

Bahsing, banging, bleeding, 
	Watch the children run, 
	Away to tuck and hide, 
	War, danger, fleeting, 
A tribal meaning, 
	Tried and true, 
	Use your faith, 
	To guide you through, 
Plead, cry, pray, 
	Let God light the way,
	Jump feet first, 
	Into the smoldering and burning love, 
	That God feels for you,
Ringing, yelling, screaming, 
	Let the whole world know, 
	Don’t push the other way, 
	Or to war you’ll go,
	Just sit back, 
	Let God pull you in tow.
