In a fit of pique, we took issue with their words

We needed sage advice, from those who knew

Instead we shed the blood of thousands of men

The bitter act of war, is never the last thing to do

Rest easy now, my dear friend

Let the angels be your wings

To carry you, safely home

Where the carolers do sing

Songs, to lift your heavy heart

So you know you’re not alone

Music, the heavens will impart

Hear the gentle trumpets blown

Rest easy now, my dear friend

Far away from the world at war

For God has lifted you up to Him

Your burdens are no more

Life offers no comfort, to the ones who came back lost

Those whose minds, were taken, but really, at what cost

Trying to find the place, where last they knew their names

In a country that misunderstands, and never takes the blame

Locked inside, their restless souls, unable to assimilate

Homeless, lying in the street, oblivious to their fate

The drug of choice, so many, as they try to ease the pain

I pray to God, that someday, they’ll come back home, again

Smiling, gladly welcomed, by those they left behind

No longer in that empty space, that lingers, in their mind

Platinum rockets outshine the night

Setting on fire, this battle of wills

Radioactive, they tarnish the skies

Feeling nothing, only out for the kill

Men, women, children, die horrible deaths

Tragedy strikes, not so unexpected

War torn and ravished, faraway lands

Unable to fight back, quite unprotected

Peace needs a place, to call its home

An Earthly portal, to welcome all

Three nations together, cannot do it alone

For when evil wins, the mighty will fall

 

My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Syria, and to the men and women of our armed forces, along side France and Great Britain.  May God watch over them…

In the darkness, the cold wind howls

Trying desperately to get in, to claim

I listen quietly, hoping she’ll leave

Still, I hear her whispering my name

Come outside and dance, my friend

She calls to me, again and again

It’s much too dark out there, for me

I’d rather stay inside, within

There’s no deterring her taunting

She whips up a tempest, her war

The sounds she makes are haunting

My soul follows hers, evermore
