The War to Answer Why was won when one man saw that any gun was pointed at a brother's son. He set sail for the origin and traveled seven seas to a lighthouse. He led his legions to gain a vantage point of rightful reason and ascended to enlighten those drowning. Atop the hill, a million minds united as one to sing the Song of One.
1. The Song of One
The War to Answer Why was won
When one man saw that any gun
Was pointed at a brother’s son
And set sail for the origin.
For seven seas, a lighthouse, one.
He beached the boat and led his legions
To the vantage point of rightful reason
Ascended strong and sure to siphon
The drowning onto land, enlightened.
The conception of one mindful titan.
Atop the hill, all mingled, meshed
To a firepower transcending flesh
In symphony to slaughter death
A million mouths, a single breath.
One million mouths, one single breath.
‘Til just one pupiled point remained
Let loose the flow of one cascade
That once just drop by drop was flung
From isle to isle, by finches sung.
A million minds united, one.
A million mouths, the Song of One.
