O' Mia Barker

1999


No More Breath

Anger

Bloodshed

Famine

War

Which side's winning?

What's the score?


Face to face

Wrath to tongue

Does it matter which side's won?


Ready to kill our own kind

So one can be the better side


Ego's rush

Frozen soul's scorn hurt

Threats are made to end the world


Billions shake

Tremble

Cry

Fearing,

When will be their time to die


Eye to eye

Hate for hate

Vulnerable people

In fear they wait


Women and girls

Men and boys

Which side has the better toys?


Words thrash out

Emotions rattle

Life and death

Senseless battle


Just one push

And millions die

Enemies toward their own kind


Bombs explode

Hello death

Existence gone

No more breath.
