A battle line of past defense, a trail of healing
Cut to the bone or shot through the heart
A mending mark needed by one and all
Form:
While Mom is busy raging
In what are kids engaging
Are they with her on the battle-line
Do they cling in fear to her hemline
Women screaming slogans shrill
Some consider this a thrill --
Once we scorned child-vaudeville
What will raging moms instill
Like distant drums in rhythm pound
Endless rows of human kind
Marching soldiers cross the ground
Towards some battle line
Bound to those who went before
Obsessed in savage pride
Forge blindly to the raging war
To slay the other side
Wisdom lost in murdered dreams
Learned naught from battles past
Dead heroes lay in bloody streams
When oh God will be our last?
Like distant drums in rhythm pound
Endless rows of human kind
Marching soldiers cross the ground
Towards some battle line
Bound to those who went before
Obsessed in savage pride
Forge blindly to the raging war
To slay the other side
Wisdom lost in murdered dreams
Learned naught from battles past
Dead heroes lay in bloody streams
When oh God will be our last?
