WWII

Power grasped from their emptiness, we suffer for their foolishness, As a silver-tongued devil professes he can fill the void. And the morally retarded, listen to this evil hearted, Man whose plan has only started, dispelling hardships we would bear. Many years of cold, and lonely hardships our young men would bear;                 So it started, over there. The brave and good men are leaving, as the government is weaving, Another lie to coax more young fools to rush toward untimely graves. So the body count is rising, as our future's quickly dying, And another mother's crying, and pulling on her ragged hair. Thinks of her young and eager son as she tugs her ragged hair;                 Gone forever, over there. Some say we are victorious, as all our foes recognize us, The winners in a losing battle in which we claim to lose the least. But though the bullets cease to fly, an orphaned child wonders why, Her handsome daddy had to die, and why no God answered her prayer. From the bottom of her heart, a faintly whispered, hopeful prayer;                 For the lost souls, over there.
