BLOOD-RED DAWN
Guns and blood
crying pain
carried with
hatred's stain
shouts and screams
soldier's bane
flying low
fighter plane.
Kill the sister
murder brother
but who cares
it's just another
victime of
burning smother.
Mother, Father
baby dear
please get far away
from here
out of hate
out of fear
go now
shed not a tear.
For I'm still here
I do not fall
taking one
fighting all
dancing 'round
Death's own ball
waltzing down
in anger's hall.
Fear not I
sudden death
for with my last
and final breath
take with me
war's last breadth.
I give my life
to them today
a tiny bit of
price to pay
for others to see
light of day
while I simply
fade away.
Morning brings
blood-red dawn
dripping from those
who've gone
sing loud
grieving song
go to where
I belong.
Silver wings
come uncurled
flapping softly
leave this world
waiting for to
be hurled
into coming
end unfurled.
