Tree Witnesses
A bewildered child is crying out into the cold-hearted desolate night
Thinking that someone one will save him from all this fearful fright
But no one can save this child, not by a long sight
This child may not even make it to the saddening sunlight
When savage weaponry is being carelessly and treacherously carried without a second thought
And all you can hear through the trees is Pop. Pop! POP!
Their friends, their brothers, their sisters, their ......mothers all being shot by some mister
All for a quick dollar from each other and another
Did they ever think to see that baby in that wooden basket, in that hut?
And to find that it was rolled under that bulldozer all cut up
And for what?
All for that quick buck?
That wondrous boy wild as can be
Is now sadistically chained and to never be set free
Family torn from his fearful innocent eyes
And all he can do is scream to the sky
His animalistic screams echoes through the seeing trees
Witnessing all of the horrid heart breaking scenes
And God, Oh God they proclaim "Save us by all means"
But no one can hear them by the rumbling of the metal machines
