A waste of life
Synonymous
With religion
Such as life is
A part of death

Death is never
Too far away
For those of us
Who wish to stay
Alive and well

Born on this earth
Wishing to flee
War stricken land
I cannot see
Life, only death

Bred and birthed in
A vast, expanding waste bin
With nuclear gas explosions
Fueled by fear and religion
Warpigs quicken,
Bombs used to deaden
Our lives and future children
Dying in the waste bin
