Blood.
Though the war is over, it still remains
On the floor, on the battlefields, yet it still runs through our veins
This is where the uprise starts
Two new ways, but one will part
Capitalist.
The first of the two
The side often paired with the colour blue
Ownership kept, passed down in wills
No money is given to help with the bills
Communist.
One job, one house given to you
The way that collapses when people want two
The way could have worked without human greed
For most humans wanted what they didn’t need
Walls.
One was put up, splitting Germany in two
The west side worked all modern and new
The east side was hungry, cold, hoping
Longing for better times, the kinder the loving
Threats.
None never new, weapons of mass destruction
Are the rumours true?
The Soviet v the US, the east v the west
The first war that gave our soldiers a rest
Darkness.
In the communist countries the role models are who?
Those who have lied and cheated, those unlike you
Those who lurk among the shadows, those without a face
Those ruthless dictators caused chaos without haste
Believe
Close your eyes in 1983
And believe in the light that will set us all free
So take a step back and take a breath
For there are things to face far worse than death
Blood.
Though little was shed it still remains
On the floor and the battlefields, running through our veins
From 1947- 1991 a cold war was started
Two new ways, and then one parted.
