Tears Still Drying

On conflict

Everything feelsLike it's dyingAll denyingThe part that they playWhat rules of warAre we applying?Missiles flying More dying today Everything feels Like it's dyingCountries defyingGlobal laws everydayFor what outcomesAre we all fighting War is frightening And won't go away Everything feels Like it's dying Flags untying And flying awayNobody seems To be tryingSo more dying Continues today  Everything feelsLike it's dyingLife's erosionExploded todayNobody's learning The lessonsThat our ancestors Left yesterday  Everything feelsLike it's dyingLeaders arrivingThen flying awayIt feels likeThey're not even trying Like they plannedFor more dying today  Everything feels like it's dyingLike life's sighingAnd fading awayWhat vision of life Are we buying?Tears still dryingFrom crying today
