I wanna run away from
The thought that people are
Dying so that I can be
A free American
*****
I watched ken burns’ the war
And I got goose bumps and
For moments I really believed
But believed in what
*****
That bullets and bombs and
Mortars and tanks and
Blood and guts spilled
In the name of freedom
Will result in peace
*****
Peace will not exist as
Long as humans seek
Greed and power and wealth
*****
That’s how it is, unfortunately
And so I take solace in the
Bending tree at dusk just
Before the final light fades
