So far away from home
He's staring into night
And wishing it would end
See now, the bomber-
Fighting war for AllahSee now, the splinter-
He's laying in the grime
Waiting by the trigger
Chased by fiery laceSee now, the father-
It's flying with the blast
And tearing flesh in flight
A bomb-hole in his heart
He's weeping for his son
So far away from war
Written Febuary 2nd, 2007.
In memory of CPL Steve Shannon.
