Paint a picture
of a girl with peircing eyes
make it so you wont forget her
even if you only see it one time
add stones in the background
and dead bodies on the floor
don't forget the f 16's that killed them
in this hell of a war
Paint the sky gray
as if it was about to thunder
as if the world was going to flip
and suddenly go under
paint what is left of this run-down land
show what happens
when the oppressed take a stand
Paint their beacon- the star
on a feild of blue and white
and paint with it the blood shed
it has caused so many lives
Paint one of the millions of mothers
who has lost their sons
husbands and brothers
Oh paint this girl
who has been raped a million times
frame it on a wall
And call her Palestine

It is the paintings that are not painted
which help us become jaded and able to
accept the ravages of war...  "collateral
damage"  was always a good statement for
killing of innocents....who just happened
to be nearby or struck by an errant
bomb, bullet or projectile...

WEll written,  very powerful..
