Blood Wherever – LeAnne Broas 2004
V1) Waiting out all the sticks they threw at us
In a sense of new resolve of an old ideal
The peaceful seem to always need to shout
Looking past, will we ever learn the way
Can our eyes stay open to acknowledge violence
Here and always was
Lying press that will never spill it all
Keep the masses idle while their children die for
Someone, someone else’s greed
Ch) Blood wherever you go
Follows, flows
Promises that need to be met
Tell us when it carries over
V2) Those who write the book always keeping score
Based on fathers’ sins
Fail to write enough
Keep us hateful and unsure
Even so now here we all are
Someone has to say it
Silence is complacent
They fail to ever write enough
Ch) Blood wherever you go
Follows, flows
Promises that need to be met
Tell us when it carries over
It carries it carries over
It carries, it caries over

I wrote this before the current war, thinking it’d never be relevant so long after it was written….
