Blue or Gray

Different time – Different agenda –

Different mindset – Same old story.

Unapologetic profiteers

In search of gore and glory.

 

Clouds of conflict born in anguish

Pirated o’er angry seas.

Beast of burden – sold – debased

With brash delight for all to see.

 

Passing decades shape a wealth

That disavows upright mores,

Casting shadows on a troubled land

Begetting blues and grays.

 

Now the angry argument is

Launched upon the killing fields

As both believe their cause is just,

And losses rise as neither yields.

 

But when it’s over a promise begins,

A covenant to consummate

Where all are equal and all can be free of

Gross divisiveness and hate.

 

And what was it they fought to free?

The blessings of sweet liberty

And equal justice for all men

Regardless of their shade of skin.
