A house no longer a home
A people no longer a nation
A mother no longer a mom
A father no longer has a son
A land once pure
A people once sure
Becomes barren
Barricades of dead bodies
Buried by the numbers
Brace yourself child this is the world you inherit
Brace yourself child you have a lot to fix
Counting stars
Caged by bars
Came from far
Covered in scars
Cruelty is the movie and you are the star
Dying the innocent is dead
Doomed to a future so bleak
Dazed at the damage that’s been done
Disaster knows no kindness
Dare to dream and hope after it all
Elements of earth’s centre
Existence of a place that doesn’t exist
Evicted from the place you called home
Empty souls drift the streets
Emptier are their bodies that once lived
Far from ending
Foolish hearts still hope
Favorite stories no longer bring smiles
Fireplace is cold with ashes
Fear has paralyzed the strongest
Good is if you are still alive
Gone are the times of joy and bliss
Gone is the peace and prosperity
Gullible are the children that race the streets
Greatness now a thing of the past
He told her everything would be ok
He held her and wiped the tears with his sleeve
He held back his tears to be strong for her
He hoped with all his heart he was right
Her big brother was all that was left of family
Imagine if the war didn’t happen
Inhale; let the fresh air wash away the hurt
Intelligent minds left to wonder
Inert you have become, cold as stone
Illuminate the dark, with just your hope
It only takes one to rise up and speak
Jokers only smile back at you
Jump, like a plane lift off
Jackals dine on deer never the other way round
Jaded hearts, faded dreams
Jarred ends of the fibers that make you
Killing no longer for a reason
Kernel k can’t sleep at night anymore
Kingdom come, kingdom blown to dust
Kingdom stands alone
Kingdom stands in a pool of its people’s blood
Lies told lead to more lies
Lives taken like they meant nothing
Love robbed of its existence
Learning the death of a loved one on a daily basis
Larger than life you once were
Mistakes repeated like re-runs just incase you missed the last
Murders by the numbers like it was a marathon of who killed most
Mission accomplished you have hurt the hearts
Mission failed, those hearts have healed
Magic wands can’t make it all go away
No longer is there an aim for a target
Now the motto is just shooting, no target
Never mind if she is your mother
Never mind if he is your brother
Narrow minds and numb hearts
Oil the lamps as dark sets in
Ornaments of the land are now the bones of its people
Ordeal after ordeal nothing surprises you anymore
Only if it were all a bad dream
Only if you would wake tomorrow and all was well again
People fought for wealth, for wealth is power
Power made you feel like no other
Power came first in a race with peace
Peace perished and so did the people
People weren’t there to witness the power you have killed for
Quiet are the playgrounds now the children are gone
Queens once in their homes, now minorities in foreign lands
Quilts of dust on the faces of the few that made it
Quest to find a destiny so dear
Quest to return to where I call home
Rest now my land, for you have been through a lot
Reminisce now of the times you were grand and beautiful
Read the sad faces of your people
Reassure them, its ok now
Resilient land, remain strong and don’t despair
Remain our home, and don’t desert us
So alone in a world so crowded
Silence said the master
Sit down and see what you have done
Surrender your weapons, seek forgiveness
Sense of remorse, shall eat away at your soul
The time has come
Turn to your left and then your right
That’s right not another face insight
This is what you have gained
This is what you have failed to see till there was no more
The rivers once blue, now run red stained with blood
Until now you were blinded by greed
Until now you told yourself you can’t feel
Untrue it was, until now
Underneath you your knees shake, they fold and bring you to the ground
Undo the done deeds I dare you now, do you see what I was warning you about
Vastness of space, the silence that’s deafening
Victory is yours now, if the goal was to destroy it all
Very well then, how does it feel?
Vain war you fought, very little you gained
Victory is yours now, how does it really feel
Wait, are those tears I see in your eyes
What happened is this not what you killed them all for
Where is your family child, was it worth the trade that gun you hold
When it’s all said and done what now, where to from here
Wailing and wishing you could take it all back
Well that’s a pity, if only that was how the world worked
