The line is thin,
the soldier said,
between the devil and the saint
its shown as clear as it can be
by people in the press you see.
At orders from the President
they lie and tell us horrors tales
that lead us to the
bloody trails in desert dust
where children lie
Its hard, you see, to tell the truth
tween terrorist and
men of good,
as Nelson Mandela
stood
a terrorrist for long
and long in African jails
for freedoms song.
how then can I,
in freedoms eye,
judge right from wrong when all along
they tell the still night
darkeness song of blood and strife
to me and mine
when they are wrong.
