How many of us have fallen

So that they could practice with their weapons?

How many were shipped off to be used

In so many ways?

How many have been slain by swords

Because we refused the rope?

How many of them

Have gotten away with getting us?

How many of us

Have the gotten?

How many wars have been started

Because no one believed us?

How many wars could have been stopped

If someone believed us?

How many of us were stuck

In between the guillotine and the axe?

How many still are?
