Vintage War

By: Dotty Harrison

Life to all, the empty promise

I’ve found something new

Take your script and watch it slip through

Cracks so obvious

And we still fight in vain

Who’s the one that wins?

No one’s truly saved

No room left to swim

Life to all, the empty promise

I’ve found something new

Take your script and watch it slip through

Cracks so obvious

And we’re still caught in nets

Who’s the leader now?

You can’t deny the sweat

You’re mopping from your brow

Life to all, the empty promise

I’ve found something new

Take your script and watch it slip through

Cracks so obvious

Next to you, I swear I see

A curtain over truth

Maybe time should tell us when to

Put away our guns
