Questions
Imre Glaser
As I sit,
Thoughts Enter; none pleasing.
Why am I here?
What do we do?
What do I want?
But none get answered
As I sit,
I watch.
Watch the rows of sleeping bodies,
Stacked above.
I think:
Why am I here?
What do we do?
What do I want?
But none get answered
As I sit,
I wonder.
Wonder about the little boy,
Who lost his father
Lost his mother,
Lost all who loved him,
Because of people like me
I think:
Why am I here?
What do we do?
What do I want?
But none get answered
A I sit,
I remember.
Remember the scenes of troops,
Entering, conquering,
Pillaging, killing,
All for Glory.
I think:
Why am I here?
What do we do?
What do I want?
But none get answered
As I sit,
I remind myself,
Remind myself that the days of barbarians are over,
No longer do I enter and conquer,
No longer pillage and Kill.
I help.
I think:
Why am I here?
What do we do?
What do I want?
But none get answered
As I sit,
I remind myself.
Remind that I am here to serve,
To protect,
I want to ensure sanctity,
I want to look.
Look in the eyes of the boy
Who's known war all his life,
And finally,
Finally can know peace
This is why I am here,
This is what we do,
This is what I want.
As I sit,
All are answered.
