WHEN IS A WAR CRIME NOT A WAR CRIME ?

When is a war crime
Not a war crime ?
Hungry kids
With spoons
Ready to scrape
The dried barrels clean
In a hail of bullets
So obscene.

Its all down to politics
Finance and trade deals
We condemn it in a bold voice
While selling the bullets they need

When is genocide
Not a genocide ?
Broken children
Laying dead
Bombed out churches
And hospitals
No electricity, water
Gas.

I tried to keep quiet
My sanity could take no more
Heaven must be almost full
A queue at its door.
To hell with threats
Be careful what you say
In the worlds new apocolypse
Governments turn away.

When is a war crime
Not a war crime
A genocide not politically correct ?
Sick to my stomach
I thought decency
Children protects.
