War

by Hard Hat Poet - Taurus

If you want to see a man die
You don`t have to go to war
Look in his eyes to see the pain
As he opens every door
If you want to see a man die
See the lines in his face
What once was young,strong and proud
Has fallen out of grace
If you want to see a man die
Find the streets in a city
Try and find the souls at night
There is no room for pity
If you want to see a man die
Touch the weathered hand
With a lifetime of never ending work
For a pocket full of sand 
There is no need to go to war
To see a man die
Just look across the fruitful land
To see how many cry
