Damage

Desolate, lay the barren land
Shadowed in nightmares of fallen man
Tales told of the children's voices
Demonized by other choices

Chants rang out, a country united
Against an enemy, uninvited
Flags flying, people crying, watching their dying
Murder disguised all those years
Intolerance stopped here

From blood flooded, stained the mud
Boot marched over forgotten sin
Hands held up reaching for peace
Mothers, fathers, families

Fallen on deaf ears
All those years left their mark
Unforgiving were their hearts
Remembrance of hate unjust
Long had faded any trust

How the people paid
For mistakes they once had made
Buried in shallow grave
While their leaders just turned away

The damage done, called war and victory
Putting the people out of misery
Survival teetering on fate
While people chanted, no more hate
