COMING SHORTLY.....TO A COUNTRY NEAR YOU
Brother against brother; jaw to jaw
Compassion abandoned in the initial roar
The opening signs in a Civil War.
No venture this, on some foreign shore
Military leaders forsake their lore
There are no neutrals in a Civil War
Run to escape the horror and gore
But memories abide whether rich or poor
There is nowhere to hide in a Civil War
The old, the sick, the child, the whore
None can, for their lives implore
There is no honour in a Civil War.
All must understand what is in store
No non-commitment for those unsure
There is no end in a Civil War
Ceasefires and truces fanatics ignore
The slaughter now greater than before
There is no mercy in a Civil War
Many years later, a knock at the door
A shotgun blast to even a score
There is no forgiveness in a Civil War
