Who would have thought…………..

Look at me
I am just a boy
My mothers bundle
Of sweet joy
Off to school
To learn to be
A really good man
Actually

My little legs
My school socks white
My uniform
And my blazer tight
I heard the news
That far away
2 of my countrymen
They did slay
Tied them to a cross and shot
Them through their hearts
Thats what they got

I thought could I end up this way
Shot and killed
And made to pay
Lost out in a foreign land
It’s something I could not understand
But If I had done wrong
And I had to face
Death alone
The human race
was over for me
I was to be
Shot and killed
So my last plea

As tears roll down
my sad old face
A bullet soon
will end my race
And as I walk those final feet
Remembering my life complete
How was it that I lost my way
And the lights went out
On my final day
Would I truly bear this loss
Tied loosely to a wooden cross
