WAR

By the land
I've seen the night
bright with the killing of war

I have seen
shattered bodies
of old and young

I have seen
people building homes
out of the ashes

I have seen
young women selling their bodies
in Manila Yokohama Shanghai

Because there where families
or no families
because there was no other way
because war made it profitable

Because there were men
tired lonely men
buying forgetfulness
buying love
