A War

by Mathieu Hotte   Nov 29, 2004


A child is born, takes a breath,
a heart beats a rhythm,
behold, creation.

A child sees a child perceives
his makers notice,
his nation leads him.

A child grows, a child understands,
corruption can be fought
with a gun in hand.

A child, now a man,
a man now afraid...

A child is born, takes a breath,
a heart beats a rhythm,
behold, creation.

A child sees, a child perceives,
his makers notice,
his nation guides him.

A child grows, a child understands,
corruption can be fought
with a pen in hand.

A child, now a man
a man, now afraid...

A war has started, corruption prevailed,
these children, now men
fight in vain.

Two men cross paths, two men understand,
corruption will be fought
with a in hand...
