To Believe A Lie

Is there truly any real reason for war. It is easily avoidable, but one man's ambition and hate means the loss of many others' lives.

There is no wrong and right

There is only justice and pride

What’s left of good and bad is your decision

You must pick your side

 

There is little truth

In a war ridden ground

But the lies are so deceptive

That only truth can be found

 

This will be our stand

This will be our tomb

This is our newborn life

This is our doom

 

We have no fair reason

Beyond dusts and sands

But we can barely see passed

The warm blood on our hands

 

It trickles down our fingertips

And lingers into our spirit

But with the protective morale inside us

Our eyes may be relit

 

A flame burns bright in our hearts

But the light grows dim as time fades

We lose friends one by one

Slowly, shadows turn to shades

 

The sky burns red

In imitation of a world yet to fold

This is the last page of our lives

But victory is what will be told

 

The valor surpasses the strength

But it won’t last through the night

Eventually we will have to rely on faith

If we wish to win this fight

 

Blinded by soot and ash

Bound by false motivation

Circumstances lose importance

We must protect without hesitation

 

We need not know the reason

For punishment must be dealt

They invaded our lives

They will feel what we felt

 

When all is over

When the tossed dirt calms

A worn battlefield is revealed

Filled with lifeless palms

 

Nothing is worth this

A senseless death is just suicide

But in a reasonless skirmish

Only unneeded loss can reside

Author's Note

This is my tribute to all those lying face down in the dirt, watching their life fade by the end of a bullet in Iraq or any other war. Whatever our reason to bicker, it is no reason to kill...

This is really good! I like the message; it merges away from the usual love/romance message and talks about a real problem. Thanks for writing this, 'cuz it's good to see that people care. =D
