Generations
Do you think that you’re a man
Because you hold a gun
Just remember he that kills
Is not his fathers son
Do you have an opened mind
To see the deeds you've done
Or roam the land and make your stand
Look out for number one
Do you know your children
That you are all they know
To see your life through their eyes
They watch you as they grow
Do you know what happened
Cause blood is in demand
Why are children dying
There's a gun in juniors hand
Families at home mourning
Parents now on trial
The whole world feels sorry
But the problem is denial
No one wants to face the truth
It’s right before our eyes
Our children don’t know good from bad
We've raised them on our lies
By: Jeremy Siedlecki
In one piece hold in hands
My children in wars lost lives
Enchanted welcome heroes
Is it about our lives in land
Or we have broad interest in
My precious children
Should come back home
