Sand

End your war now decades gone join again, relented brawn plant once more your dirt less lawn holstered arms yet never drawn Brotherhood mesh in faux glove family pride hangs black above leave that hawk embrace that dove homeless now, there is no love Unknowing knowledge all this time what they stole it was a crime used again, your only dime the inner scars won’t heal with time The dust blows bleak upon your face helpless strong you are disgrace salvation is a different place no to puppies no to lace Choice it lays before you now be one of, but have to bow or loneliest like Andy’s Mao sacrificed, a sacred cow One adrift with separate pride the other with a desperate bride both will set you far aside from that boy that never lied
