Four boys playing
Found a cluster bomb
Now who's to blame
Does it really matter?
Four boys playing
Trying to be kids
In a country of war
Kicking the ball
One dead on the scene
One in transit high
Another in the OR
The last ever disabled
Why there was a war
It really matters not
Men will always fight
And die for wants unseen
Four boys playing
Back home away from war
In dreams, or in a field
Spectres still bleeding
They look up at me
With sullen, sunken eyes
Hands grasping, or still
All gestures unanswered
It no longer matters...
