this world can be corrupt cruel unkind
evil in wars atrocities famine accidents
disasters both seen unseen plague societies
spare a thought a prayer for those who suffer
spare a thought a prayer for fine young men
horror conscripted young men forced to fight
young lives forced to fight against their will
in Russia in Ukraine forced to murder men
forced to fight kill in war against their will
as politicians play hard ball conscript their lives
