United By War | Ally Fred | Print Friendly

It came with voices for everyone to hear
Even the deaf'd feel the pain---
The blind would see darkness
And the world would be equalized.
Every perception and notion neutralized
But between the battle a lot changed
It revived the substantial side of humanity
Closeness of the family.
It created an ample control circle of time
It wasn't just a war fought
It was a war that taught
It was a war that brought--
meaning to life.
It was a war that closed many eyes
And opened much more
It inflicted unforgettable pain
And within which a new path was found,
The one that'd lead to victory,
Where everyone on the ground,
Would work together in harmony.
As the fallen find eternal peace
The world was left in one piece
The world would've a single face.
