Lacking Rhyme and Reason |
 |
|
This can't be real...
dead bro beside me lying;
the helplessness I feel,
the bombs, the blood, the crying.
Deathbed pleas to God
escaped my buddy's lips,
now silenced by the bombs
as into death he slips.
Numbed, I cannot scream,
I cannot breathe... I cannot die!
God, I must be dreaming...
Grown men do not cry.
Dad, I promised not to.
I'll make you proud... You'll see
I'll make it through... I got to...
OH NO!! DON'T SHOOT!! ... OH GOD!! |
