heavy stuff

I decided to go for a more heavy theme on this one, which i kind of snap wrote today.
Hope anyone likes it

when our children ask us why
we dropped those bombs
then watched grown men on the television cry
when they quietly enquire how did
we live with ourselves
when we were the ones who allowed it
will we tell them, well, our brave heroes fought for justice
against terror, for us all?
will we tell them that it was a just cause
liberating foreign soil?
well, I think it's more about what's underneath,
i'll tell them we traded blood for oil.

  1. I think it's reasonably well written... But the meaning behind it makes me grit my teeth.
