War is Hell

Marther Luther King said "I have a dream"
and in Lincoln's hands laid slaves holding their fate.
Through the war was broken a blinding wall.
The light came through and their hearts were no longer dark
and who's was the fault to blame?

I ask you, what is guilt if there was no blame?
For what is a student without a dream?
For where would we stop before the world grows dark?
For the burden of the children will lead us to our fate.
And I woke up in the 4th vigil and stood above the wall.

For boundaries do not stop me, neither will that wall.
And even Thomas Paine cried that we were not to blame.
My mother is love and freedom is my fate.
Will I be crushed by others or shall I continue to dream?
Samson was a hero yet his heart was still dark.

George Washington was a general and a man without a dream.
And when there was no hope, came Grant and gave us our fate.
And he spoke "when the enemy attacks build me a stone wall."
War came and came again just like light to dark.
Let it be said again "all war is hell" when there is no one to blame!
