Home of the brave??

“land of the free, home of the brave”
they go off guns blazing and dig there own sorry grave.
The world has started to notice, and now starts to frown
The sea of destruction in which the innocent drown.

We cannot forgive and must never forget
The globe stood back watching and now they regret.
It still seems suresurreal me, how they got round the law
They ignored all the signs, dragged our good men to war.

They spouted out tripe, pumped us with lies
Now we must rebuild the black, broken skies
They went with no backing, not one shred of proof,
And only now are we learning the truth.

The reason was money, cash by oil
One nations greed causes anotanother'sk toil.
We pointed the factors, we did our best to warn,
Too stupid to listen the pleasant weather turns quickly to storm

As a poor country dies, a poorer is born
The world comes together and holds hands to mourn
The worlds super power has no capacity to learn
The planets rich cream has started to churn

Now for our men, we must pray for there lives
With them in thought making sure they survive
No matter the motives or the tactics they used
The peoples trust and belief has been totally abused

The time is now to react to this sin
The less fortunate have payed, in war no one wins
Lets wave the banners, rebel this cold night
Land of the free I cannot believe, home of the brave?
There cowards for life!!

M.H.
