The War Is Not Over Still

Morning planes breathe a smoky chill.

The war is not over still.

Gardeners set fires, and surgeons kill.

The war is not over still.

The color's been drained from Capitol Hill.

The war is not over still.

Whales of sand have not had their fill.

The war is not over still.

Students, mothers, bloodied babies foot the bill.

The war is not over still.

We turn to royal weddings and a handful of pills.

The war is not over still.

There's no cleaning up our blanket of spills.

The war is not over still.

Mountains of men disappear as if they were krill.

The war is not over still.

Water with blood and greed is distilled.

The war is not over still.

Fireworks and flags leave echoes shrill.

The war is not over still.

I lie in the flames and wonder if we're ill.

The war is not over still.

Send a letter, I beg you, this is not a drill.

The war is not over still.

I won't believe a word he says until

The war is over,

But the war is not over still.
