Watched them with sorrow
Hanging from the trees
Under burning roofs
Falling from the skies
Screaming out their grief

Watched them with hatred
Barging into our homes
Stealing our lives
Laughing at the pain
Putting us against the wall

Lifted her with bloody hands
A nameless child
Her last breath stolen
By those who would protect
Simply because they can

I burned the uniforms
Friends and enemies alike
To make them equal
In life as in death
Presenting only their sins
