WHAT KEEPS US FROM FALLING

With only a step to take, a dream to realize
A step we take…a future to jeopardize
With scores to settle you sit high above, far away
With mindless bodies & heartless souls, for those men you “pray”
You brace the men, to cut themselves through the barbed wires
Leave the women to hunt for caves & children to persuade.

It is their bullets that keep us from falling,
You scar their souls; make them believe it is the right thing
Don’t you understand you cannot win?
Letting that bullet out of the barrel will still remain a sin

With scared young minds, those brave survive
Never did you wonder about the men, who are ready to die.
They watch yet another soul, hide behind the gunpowder smoke
Made to march forward with relentless hearts with a false hope
Move in ever depleting groups, never knowing one face,
Never given a choice for whose life they may embrace.

It is their bullets that keep us from falling,
You scar their souls; make them believe it is the right thing
Don’t you understand you cannot win?
Letting that bullet out of the barrel will still remain a sin

Maybe for you, a small price to pay behind enemy lines
But only they know the worth of a human life
