Victory Woke before work early 5:00 a.m. On the news they've killed a 12 yr old boy And made his funeral a war rally kick-off So there wont be a 12 yr old boy anywhere Who hasn't been baptized in death Then I got in the hot shower and Stood there Hoping it would wash off… And was startled By the sudden unexplained presence Watching me silently from the doorway A 4 ft man in plaid No - it's my son 6 yrs old in pajamas Woken early like he never does Watching me for clues to life like He always does Then listening to the TV He wants to know what's happening I'm caught in a bear trap Of trying to explain the war how some people turn mean and Blow up other people and Just when I've got it boiled down to simplicity The sun peeks up from the mountain And the sky turns mauve and turquoise and crimson And the boy jumps on the bed Pointing and oohing and squealing with thrill As the war drones in the background a sunrise in his eyes dominates our world more completely than an army can ever hold a country.
