TO THE SOLDIER


Did you never feel a DEBT for STOLEN land
Did you never heave a sigh at such SORROW
Did your march never lose PURPOSE
Did another's blood on your HANDS never make you weep

Did your eyes grow so NUMB
Were you such a HERO
Was your finger so STEADY on the trigger
'Did you plug your nose to the STENCH

FLOODED by a cloud of arrows
WHY were you attacking
Did YOU know
Did you BELIEVE

And then all HOPE was lost
And you took your own LIFE
Were you a HERO
You were so AFRAID of what you did not know




Inspired by the Native American massacre at Custer's Last Stand
