I hear the bugles sounding
Ominously giving us warning Raising the passion of the young, and The fear of the old in our homeland There is talk of an incursion A neighbor is thinking of invasion In a far distant land Against it, is our responsibility to stand? But we've been there and seen it all When someone makes a cautionary call The warnings, alarms, and fears of war And how it could affect us all, by far Everyone cries; this could be bad But is it ours? Or we're being had? Why are we involved, I cannot see I could not sleep, as it haunted me We scream, this is insanity As it will involve all humanity Like a wildfire, it could spread It must be stopped, we should look ahead We've seen and heard it in the past As we were told and left aghast And how it all came to pass After many gave their lives in mass As the politicians were talking and planning Our soldiers were praying and dying So we hope and pray for some relief Oh Lord, please save us from this grief It is a great storm coming our way We feel powerless and can't keep it at bay NOW, just think if there were no borders No walls or fences to push us to corners Mankind would be truly free Of anguish and torment, we can all agree But is that too sensible? I swear Hence as doctors, we need to prepare For, our way, the wounded will come Our heroes, with unforeseen outcome At some point there must be an awakening To give reason, some enabling That this world is too small to be divided And expect that all be provided Let's give all, some hope and room Do away with fear and gloom Freedom for mankind, then will be true If we share our wisdom through and through Only then can life have some meaning Of liberty, choice and wealth of being!
