Do Not Die For Me by JJ JohnsonDo not die for me
I will not kill for you
Do not die for me
You should never have a reason to
I will not kill for you
Why is that so hard to understand?
So do not die for me
Your blood is not welcome on my hands
What price salvation, Lord?
These things that man will do
But to take a human life
There should never be a reason to
What price salvation, God?
That another man should die for me
And save the lives, with guns and bombs
Of the suppressed who would be free
Do not Die for me
I will not die for you
You need not die for me

Posted by Adrian Calhoun on 10/05/05 at 11:05 AM Someday JJ, someday. Would be nice if war became only a thing in history books. Good poem with some real feeling and thought, I like it. However, even the Bible says there is a time for war. |
