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.
