Death Waste

Landmine ghost children
3rd world apparitions eternal
Weeping parents tongue's taste the bitter pain
Left over warfare syndrome
Death waste

Weaponry one wish
Disarm the deadly invisible
Earth cries as the mine trap shook
Tiny feet stutter forward
Crawling blood blind
Hand and bone

Toxic water nourished
Dehydrated skin & soul
Human condition on the edge
Children we've allowed to slip away
No bidding them back from death's door
Escape to appease or amnesty our selfish pride


Weaponry one wish
Disarm the deadly invisible
Earth cries as the mine trap shook
Tiny feet stutter forward
Crawling blood blind
Hand and bone
