war part one
I see freedom
I see war.
Thinking about you leads me to be unsure.
Where to go. Looking around.
All surrounded.
Life on both sides.
Gets shot to the ground.
Running up the hill.
All I see is war at three.
Think where to be.
My captain says shoot.
I hit you.
(splat)
running away
Chasing the freedom where I'm meant to be.
But war comes.
Why to start.
What's the reason?
Why end.
When there's still a rumble,
Half dead.
I see but not all.
Missing a leg and an arm.
At least not a shot to my heart.
Shots spiral.
I'm not dead. But thousands of friends
Laying in a ditch.
It's my turn, i'm not down,
Chasing my freedom,’
I'm my own man,
Where to go. Looking around.
All surrounded.
Life on both sides.
Gets shot to the ground.
I tell you, I'm done.
I have finished the war
Now onto the next?
When will it come?
