Sorry Such An Easy Word To Say

It has been said that the Earth the meek will inherit but on the news I heard again today
That more women and children in Palestine were slaughtered of so called smart bombs they got in the way
A wanted terrorist the target too a victim well done but sorry too the Prime Minister said as with words he did play
But his sorry won't bring back the blameless innocents and sorry such an easy word to say.

One can't say one evil less than another and human life is taken far too cheap
Women and children not safe in their houses the killer bombs fall on them as they sleep
The war for god and land is ever raging and always it's the innocents who die
And terror on the streets and in the laneways and terror droning in the darkened sky.

We hear about this so called war on terror but war too is terror and it causes widespread dread
And those who order bombings for whatever reason must take the blame for the civilian dead
The mother weeps at the grave of her children and sorry to her is of little use
To say they were not our intended victims is not what one would call a good excuse.

The war for god and land is ever raging and still the numbers of the war dead grow
And mistrust leads to hatred and atrocities and happiness some people never know
And why so many innocents must suffer is way beyond me for to understand
For the innocents should never be the victims they should not have to die for god and land.
