Nothing

You are nothing darling.
I know.
You don't have to point it out
In those thick cutting words,
"No one wants you"

We know,
You see,
The pain and disaster
Fall upon
Our already rough seas of misery.

Heartache and mutiny
Take us now.
Drop everything
And break us down.

It once was peaceful,
until the night turned bright.
Let's drop another bomb,
Let's start another war,
Shatter the shore,
There's so much more
We can destroy.

Help it along with your guns and tanks,
Break the children's bones,
Leave the screams still in their throats,
As they're slaughtered like pigs.

A child is orphaned,
Laughter is given,
Not a single person
Cares for them.

Close those bright eyes,
There's nothing to see,
You'll only scream some more.

The bloodshed,
They say,
Is necessary for change.

It's a mess we say,
But no one stands tall,
And lets them break us instead.
