Is it over?

I, Gabriel, collect your glorious dead,
Blown off legs, arms and decapitated head.
Take my hand boy and standing here,
You need not fear.
But is the pain now over that you are dead?
Does human suffering stop as you have left?
No the hurt continues,
Running through every bone, all sinews.
Bullets still practice their deadly art,
Grenades still thrown, the bombs still drop.
Men, now brothers drop like flies.
Death is ever present like centuries before,
Built up by victors, converted to lore.
So I am ever present, my job never done,
I pick out the blind stricken, the confounded, the dumb.
And as you stand here, look around with me,
Now tell me brave soldier what do you see?
Theres your brother tangled on wire,
And there your sergeant blown apart by gun fire.
A soldier falls, one shot to the head,
So tell me liberator, is it better to be dead?
