Theatre Of Life

Theatre of life...
Politician, politicking
With lives of a Mother’s Son
Wars being called theatre
To sweeten the horrors of our nature


Flag drape coffins
Lining up the tarmac 
Heroes whose Mothers
Would have wished their Heroes


Were the one's...
That did bury them 
In their old age 


Now stand
In graveyardS
Overlooking gravestone
With inscription of their sons


Still, in these present times
We find ourselves
Faced with situations
That needs resolving
And our heroes are the ones
That are called for
In this theatre


We stand saluted
To the fallen soldiers
Who fell
In theatre
