All the truths faded as you walked out the door
and for once I’ve never felt so unsure
Another day another question why
for all this honor I must die?
Why must it all depend on me
are the rest too blind to see?
Can they see the dust on the horizon
or do we have to wait for the war to begin?
Should we sell off our sons for the cause
and not assume the plausible clause?
Should I be a loser in the crowd?
Just another field to be plowed?
Should I sell my soul for freedoms sake
and not look around and see that freedoms fake?
Should I believe all the lies
and greet the one I despise?
Shouldn’t a handshake replace a hug?
the way a spider replaces a bug?
