Brave home

you need not stand as you weep ...

lie on the grave of a child now free

of your insanity

and let her jump

in your puddle of tears.



Having long lost our innocence

banner striped in blood

there in our flag, our anthem

Dear Country

Lay down your arms

if your heart be so dark

as to kill a child.
