Paint the WallsUpon the iron pillars Of some forgotten track Some denizen, in passing by Has left his mark for all to seePaint the Walls
And in so doing Must reveal At least a little piece Of what inside him Bubbles up In yearning to be free


Gray SkyInside a dank and dreary hole I crouch and clutch my rifle tight A cigarette between my lips, I wish I had a lightGray Sky
Surrounded by these lonely walls Of mud and rusted wire Eating cold food from a can I wish I had a fire
My hands are numb inside my gloves My boots are caked in mud Rain comes quick to slick my palms I wish I could wash off the blood
Yesterday a man I knew Hung himself from a shoelace At first I could not look, but now I wish I could recall his face


Darkness FallingA man lies dying On a hill of sand A bullet in his chestDarkness Falling
And gasps away Each painful breath Toward his final rest
The rabid dogs of war, it seems, Have eaten up his life Within a hellish maelstrom Of suffering and strife
While power-hungry warlords Rattling gilded spears Wash the dried blood from their hands With orphan children’s tears
And as the soldier lays his head Down on a bed of sand With the last movement of his eye, The last twitch of his hand He wonders, “Why?”
