was it really a war?
when i was young
relative to my current age
they told me there was a war
with iraq
fought o'er oil
and i looked around
and i couldn't find any war
in my backyard
or my room
or my school
and so
i was a bit confused
when i was older
than i was then
they told me there was a war
with iraq
and i knew better
than to look
and try to find the war
i looked instead
for human rights
and i found them
