Outside man kills man
On a blood-red field beneath a blood-red sky.
Inside one man kills himself
Whilst his loved ones look on.
A politician says 'All is well
It is them that are wrong'
And another one dies.
Shattered minds and shattered bodies lie,
Strewn about the killing fields of humanity
And still their loved ones look on.
