The Beautiful?

Matt Martin 1966 (San Diego)

Narrative
Losing this game or so called thought, my country for some peace
Brother will fight another forget the life, spent together in strife and rivalry of sibling
I await the time this hate will cease
Dealing with what is liked the least
Seen in eyes of vanquished beast
Such good people we used to be with the love for what we thought was free
Your freedom is my pain.
