This is actually a song. It's not just any old song though-this one is very deep and intense. When I heard it for the first time even though at the time I couldn't understand all of it, it just sent this chill down my back (I was maybe 7). I'm sure many of the adults here are already familiar with it. please read it and tell me what you think. It's called Masters of War by Bob Dylan.
Come you masters of war You that build all the guns You that build the death planes You that build the big bombs You that hide behind walls You that hide behind desks I just want you to know I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin' But build to destroy You play with my worl Like it's your little toy You put a gun in my hand And you hide from my eyes And you turn and run farther When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old You lie and decieve A world war can be won You want me to believe But I see through your eyes And I see through your brain Like I see through the water Taht runs down my drain
You fasten all the triggers For the others to fire Then you set back and watch When the death count gets higher You hide in your mansion As young people's blood Flows out of their bodies And is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear That can ever be hurled Fear to bring children Into the world For threatening my baby Unborn and unnamed You ain't worth the blood That runs in your veins
How much do I know Not to talk out of tirn You might say that I'm young You might say I'm unlearned But there's one thing I know Though I'm younger than you That even Jesus would never Forgive what you do
Let me ask you own question Is your money that good Will it buy you forgiveness Do you think that it could I think you will find When your death takes it's toll All the money you made Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you'll die And your death'll come soon I will follow your casket I n the pale afternoon And I'll watch while you're lowered Down to your deathbed And I'll stand over your grave 'Till I'm sure that you're dead
