All I see is

Shattered pieces

I can’t look away

From all this pain in the war we waged

A war never meant to be ours to fight

We were

The peace keepers

Never cause harm

And now all I hear is alarms

Going off in the distance

I can’t help wonder if this is how we end

The end of all that we stood for

All that we fought for

To fight for a Republic we’d never see

To fight for peace

And live out of service

And in death we serve a high purpose

I can no longer see

In the grand scheme of things

How all of this was worth anything in the end

I guess it doesn’t matter who won in the end

In death we both lost the fight.
