The Sacrifice of Leaders

Somewhere in Israel
the little boy asked,
"Did you hear what our leader said?
He said the people over there
won't rest until were dead.
No, not until we're dead."

Somewhere in Iran
the little boy asked,
"Did you hear what our leader said?
He said the people over there
won't rest until were dead.
No, not until we're dead."

Somewhere in America
the little boy asked,
"Did you hear what our leader said?
He said the people over there
won't rest until were dead.
No, not until we're dead."

Somewhere in Palestine
the little boy asked,
"Did you hear what our leader said?
He said the people over there
won't rest until were dead.
No, not until we're dead."

Somewhere in Pakistan
the little boy asked,
"Did you hear what our leader said?
He said the people over there
won't rest until were dead.
No, not until we're dead."

Somewhere in Korea
the little boy asked,
"Did you hear what our leader said?
He said the people over there
won't rest until were dead.
No, not until we're dead."

Somewhere in Rwanda
the little boy asked,
"Did you hear what our leader said?
He said the people over there
won't rest until were dead.
No, not until we're dead."

So all the little boys
grabbed their guns and fought.
Each and everyone
died when he got shot.
Now they all lay to rest
with medals on their chests
and their leaders say,
to this very day,
"The people over there won't rest until you're dead.
No, not until all of you are dead."

I scratch my head.
