Heartbreak


My heart breaks

For my country

Full of division and hate

The propaganda machine

Grinds away our shared values

The cogs squeal and screech

Until they break and break us

My heart breaks

For this world

That we have created

Full of fear and dispair

The war machine

Rockets into action

The artillery bursts and blasts

It destroys our towns and our hope.

My heart breaks

My heart bleeds

For humanity

The ruling class

Rallies us against each other

Soon forgetting why we hate each other

Dehumanizing the other

To justify the murder
