Tears From Heaven
Some people die of boredom
Some are doomed by disease
Some choose to be their own executioner
Others persuaded to pay the ultimate price
Clad in the finest military regalia
Marching in perfect formation
Bullet-filled rifles clenched about their chests
Holstered pistols aproned round their mid-sections
Some young and some younger than old
Some fearless and some paralyzed by fear
Some tall and some shorter than tall
Some the colour Black and some lighter than Black
Trained to obey every command
Right, left, forward and back
To Hell and back if you survived the hell on Earth
Heaven, if Heaven applauded your demise
We all got to die
But some people got to suffer before they die
Words sung by Otis Taylor
Resurrection Blues is no easy tune
War is about the cross
A crucifixion absent of Jesus and the tortured nails
The body subjected to an unholy death
The mind paralyzed by the unthinkable
The outcome is a resurrection for the soul, or
A journey of forgetfulness for the senses
Prayers are hopeless when the words are lost
Tears from Heaven are all that remain
Thank you,
Joseph Pede
We choose remembrance yet forget the Man on the cross. We fought wars in His name. The jew has stolen your God, your history and your faith.
