To the soldier standing in the corner.

Do you see beyond the shadows?

Where is your gun

little tin soldier

Where do you hide it?

behind all your metals and badges?

     Behind all your tombstones and ditches.

Where are your babies

little mass murderer

Standing in the street with their hands up?

    Standing in the corner

    in the shadows

    in the dark

    with their eyes

    gluedshut.

Where will you hide

little devil of darkness

when your gun goes off and the world around you fallsdown
    wherewillyouhide with your little blind babies in a world filled with smoke

and rubble

and light?
