Sobbing through the night
Tiny slave girl, working hard
Bought for a pittance.
 
Blank look in his eyes;
Sometimes, he recalls my name…
Dementia’s a bitch.
 
Party till you drop;
Drink, drugs, sex are all you have
Your life is empty.
 
A child on crutches,
Soldiers bleeding, houses bombed…
Images of war.
