Disturbing images invade our minds,
As we try to exist in life.
Bombs, planes anything,
It still cuts deep like a knife.
Peeling away our minds protection,
Stripping it away in pieces.
Blind illusions that we have placed,
Removed so we can see the releases.
Of death and destruction, starvation and hate,
That none of us really want to know.
But the media will tell you, force it down your thought,
Every place in which you go.
It’s on the TV, in all the news,
Whenever you switch it on.
In the papers and books, even the radio,
Where has the love of life gone?
The happiness we had,
The times we enjoyed.
With all the family and friends,
It has been destroyed, taken away,
All with the stroke of a pen.
Mightier then the sword,
This implement of power,
Drives all pain into our mind.
Letting us know, pushing it into our face,
They will use any method they can find.
