I remember when it all came undone,
I heard it on the radio
�The war on Iraq has begun�
All the soldiers packed up to go.
There wasn�t much proof that Saddam had bombs,
But off Bush went to fight,
And just like a bad NBC sitcom
We screamed, �This isn�t right!�
The missiles came whizzing down,
Jeering at the little kids,
Cities became Ghost Towns,
While their leaders ran and hid.
Then we hear on CNN,
�Soldiers captured by Iraq�
All the mothers of the men
Cried, �We want them back!�
Perhaps its better they�re not here,
Better for them fighting wars,
Cause even if its bombs they fear,
We�re all scared of SARS!
Now just set down your gun,
And let doves fly free again,
We can�t stop the rising of the sun
But we can stop Evil�s reign.

War Renga
silent struggling
resisting the Temptations
no one understands
deaf to the exploding sounds
death is like a peaceful sleep
peace has flown away
the doves won�t nest in war planes
hand grenades are laid
can�t we plant the Seed of Hope
shot down before it can grow
Stone Gods beaten down
forgotten by our children
will bring new conflict
hard hitting Hiroshima
distraction from the Home Front

Might seem a little dull if you arn't familliar with Renga,
but basically it's a long form of Haiku.
