conflict

conflict

there is no time

when rockets scream

when the bombs fall

and

bullets hiss

missiles roar

grenades explode

and

fires rage

there is no time

to sleep or dream

there is no time

but watch to keep

when

the sun sets

the moon appears

stars agleam

there is no time

for rest

 but

pray  at best

for one day more

and

the longing for home

for the ones you love

tears in your heart

and

all that you have

is your life on the line

and

your gun by your side

grenades in your pockets

and

you hide with your mates

and

wait till the dawn

to fire

to kill

for peace

more bullets

and

rockets

there is no time

in warring days

in conflict

where no gentle ways

will find the path

to

peace

for

all
