A Picture Of War? Poem by Gordon David

Do you know what you're fighting for?
Do you think that you're gonna win the war?
Does it hurt when another mother cries?
Collateral damage as her baby dies


Do you think that your God wanted this war?
Please tell me, 'cause I'm not so sure
Why can't you just stop all of this killing?
You can do it today if you're really willing

Do you think that your God is on your side?
Do you know that there's no place for you to hide
Can you remember your words at the very start?
Where is your compassion? Where is your heart?


Looking back is this what you had planned?
Thousands of children's blood on your hands
Could you stop it now or has it gone too far?
Is it oil that you want for your gas guzzling car?

Do you know what you're fighting for?
Do you want to stop this stupid war?
Do you think that it's all about winning?
Don't think it's freedom that you're bringing


Why can't you just get our soldiers out of Iraq?
Give mothers their sons and daughters back
Will we ever have ' Peace in our time? '
It could be the last mountain that we climb.
