War

We have gathered today 
To filter the pain 
To let time slip away 
With no words left to say. 

We are left in this mess 
Of hate and regret 
No meanings are meant 
Still people are sent. 

We are lost out in space 
With fear on our face 
No track to retrace 
No love to embrace. 

We stand in the sands 
with blood on our hands 
Guns in our bands 
Still united we stand.
