If truth is the first casualty of war
The second casualty is innocence
In a world of perpetual conflict
Where wars start for profit not change
Peace loving people are frowned upon
Pointed out by media, labelled strange
Our politicians decide to take action
On regimes in far away lands
Drop bombs, displace innocent children
They end up with blood on their hands
They refuse the wave of humanity
Safe shelter away from the war
The children left stranded in limbo
No profit in helping the poor
