we forget.

We forget about the wars. We forget about the pain and the suffering. We forget about those who died. We forget to give thanks for peace. We forget that everyday is a gift. We tell ourselves that we have to remember, but we always forget. We never learn. We never learn that peace is so much more precious than war. We keep engaging into wars. We want to win. We always more to be powerful. We want to overthrow this and overthrow that. We forget about the sanctity of human life. Why is it that we never learn. Why is it we choose to ignore history and not allow the truth to surface. Why is it we hide from our past mistakes so as to save our face?

When war comes, no one wins.

I am pretty certain today, that History is my passion and I want to be able to go back to school to do it. Just so that I won't forget. I won't forget the lives lost, I won't forget the atrocities committed, the pain, the suffering. I want to learn. To learn about their stories, their plights, the reasons for the wars.

This thing we have created for ourselves, we will never win. we always lose.

"Those who have seen war will never forget, those who have heard war will always hear the screams in the night"
Galloway

Freedom never cries
Five for fighting
took a flag to a pawn shop
For a broken guitar
I took a flag to a pawn shop
How much is that guitar?
I took a flag to a pawn shop
I got me that guitar
What's a flag in a pawn shop to me?


Saw a man on the TV
In a mask with a gun
A man on the TV
He had a ten year old son
I saw a man on the TV
His son had a gun
And it says that he's coming for me


Chorus
I never loved the soldier
Until the wars awoke
I thought about tomorrow
'til my baby hit the floor
I only talk to God
When somebody's about to die
I never cherished freedom


Freedom never cries


I wrote a song for a dead man
To settle my soul
A song for a dead man
And now I'll never grow old
I wrote a song for a dead man
Now I'm hollowed in the cold
What's a song to a dead man to me?


Chorus
I never loved the soldier
Until the wars awoke
I thought about tomorrow
'til my baby hit the floor
I only talk to God
When somebody's about to die
I never cherished freedom
Freedom never cries


You can cry for her
Die for her
Lay down your life for her
Kiss and wave goodbye to her
Anything at all
You can cry for her
Die for her
Make up your mind to her
Anything at all


There's a baby on the doorstep
Wailing away
There's a baby on the doorstep
Longing for the day
There's a baby on the doorstep
Who'd give his life to take
A flag to a pawn shop
A flag to a pawn shop
May he forget why he is crying
Someday
