mind control is out of control
total control has lost control

I woke up drenched head to toe in sweat
I dreamed of war while safely in my bed
two thousand miles away the fires rage
horror in my mind I turn the page

my thoughts at dawn as the red sun rose
the blood that spilled in the redness shows

who did the sun shine on for one last time?

how many have fallen while I soundly slept?
breathed their last words as their children wept?

who did the sun shine on for one last time?

deceptive propaganda games poison till it's done
receptive like an open wound yielded to the sun

remembrance scars
