When they are at your door
you already know, it already is
too big to comprehend
Heaven does not help me
I don't understand the higher purpose
of the war, I can only hope
for an outcome that makes sense
We are promised soft fruit
but we get stones to eat
Luck turns, coalitions switch
and we stay behind, without help
and love we keep plodding on
until an illness releases us
from the hard life
we never dreamed of
