Have You Heard?
You say you’ve read the news,
But have you really heard?
Or do you blindly follow,
Like weak sheep in a herd?
Have you heard about the children?
Have you heard about the death?
Have you heard about the women?
Have you heard about the rest?
Have you heard about the bombing?
About the needless loss of lives?
Have you heard all the deception,
And the endless, endless lies?
Have you heard about Palestine?
Have you heard about Iraq?
So many war-torn countries,
I believe we have lost track.
Do you care about these people?
Do you care about the pain?
Wake up and hear the screaming,
This is really not a game.
With these monsters of no discretion,
It’s as real as real can be.
With the way they do as they please,
Could be next is you and me.
Or hadn’t you heard?
