Above I See The World

Suzanne Mondoux · 11 November 2020

And the Great War ended Many dead at my feet Many shedding tears of joy Today I remember my friends Above I see the world today I was one of the many cold and dying Alone with my face in the mud I listened to the end to the cries of my friends Together we walked into the light Above I see the world today Together we look at what became of you The generations of those who shed tears of joy Above we see the world What great wars you face What great fears you continue to create What chance at peace you ignore What chance at uniting the human race you fear Above I see the world And the Great War ceases to end Please explain Please raise your hands in peace Lay down your arms and silence your screams Above I see the world As it ought to be We the fallen wait with love and peace in our hearts Above we see this world
