Just Cause 2003 (a war protest song)

By Dave Adam

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

See my boy once asked of me, "Tell me dad, how can this be, that people fight in wars, and what's the killin' for?" I told him: "Son, you see there's times when people will collide, and we must fight in wars that's what the killin's for, it's crazy!" "But, Daddy, We  believe in Peace, and we believe in Love, and we believe in Time, with help from God above, We'll win this!" "Will I have to go if the Army tells me so, and will I have to die, to prove that they are right,? I'm frightened!" I told him: "I hope you'll get to stay, and not be blown away, like ashes in the wind, I hope its different then, I doubt it." "We believe in Peace, and we believe in Love, and we believe in time, with help from God above, we'll win this!" My boy came home today, (boxed up) like so much Army freight, I hope he won their cause, I still can hear him say, "We believe in Peace, and we believe in Love, and we believe in time, with help from God above, we'll win this!"a war protest song Written April 8th, 2002 © on Apr 08 2002 01:45 AM PST, Dr David A DAm    hope
