Last Straw

He was a lone little boy,
Playing in sand with toy soldiers.
Now he's grown up man,
carrying a heavy gun on his shoulder.

All the roads that he took led nowhere,
all the people he met, made him sad.
Walking on a leash his despair,
talking to ghosts in his head.

She was a sweet little girl
nursing her plush teddy bear.
Life has thrown her against the wall -
chasing phantom goals, that brought nothing
but locks of gray hair.

Dogs of the winter, cats of the sun
lost daughters, prodigal sons...
I've heard this tale so many times...
Trying to stay awake,
stepping on the same rake,
staring at cold stars,
cherishing memories of scars.

All the stones that we cast-must come down.
Bloody battles will end in a draw.
Trying to save what is left of love,
like a drowning man grasping to the straw.
