Sad but true

Grief

What am I but a fading image of my ancestors
How much wrong have we done?
Is my religion wrong?
Are my beliefs wrong?
Hounded by my past I will find no release
Watching my freedom growing away
I look back...
War took much more than innocent lives
It stole from us much more than peace and love
Not knowing, looking at the faces of your neighbours
you're looking at the faces of your enemies
I hear her voice crying
I can't remember the last time I was happy at home
Love stayed in the background
Blood washed away all my fear
my silent cry in the night
Death wasn't strange anymore
Please, I can't wait
I'm not strong enough
receive my soul for I am done here
