What remains after...
Author: Unknown
What remains after
from our civil wars,
from all people we lost,
from all this hate that was hiding behind doors.
What remains after
from all dead people lying in the street,
some i knew before,some i met before,
some didn't know,some didn't meet.
What remains after
from guns,from ''Klashinkov'' and ''M16'',
how many young civil people has died
before even reaching 14?
What remains after
all the massacres u did,all the fights?
What remains after
all the sound of explosions we were hearing all nights?
What remains after
all the banks u stole,all the money by force and terrorism u took
It remains stories about the stealings and terrorism u did,
stories written in an old book.
What remains after
all the snipers who were hidden behind windows,behind walls,behind corners,behind buildings,
are u still alive snipers?
or have been dead?
Don't u shame from killing civil people?
Don't u shame from urselves?
Don't u feel bad?
A woman was going to bring for her children some food,some bread,
days and days were crying,
days and days not eating,
in a lost corner we found her body,
she was lying in the street,she was dead.
What we can tell her children when they ask about her?
Can we tell them that we smelled her blood coming by wind,coming by air?
What remains after
all the people who were kidnapped
Did u kill them?Or still alive?
Their parents are asking about them
some informations said that they were shotted by guns
and after cutted by a knife!
What remains after
from all the fired buildings?
from all the damaged cars?
some were living with fear,
others were dancing in bars!!!
What remains after
from all people,cause of war,away they flew
do they remember us?
Or they have forgotten too?
What remains after
all these bloody days?
U can't go out,no place for u,no place,
we have closed our embassies
no visas to run away
all the ways have been closed
if not,most ways.
What remains after
from all our sadness,from all these hard days.
Please tell me how u live now?
Do u still have dreams to chase?
No don't surrender,no don't cry,
forget past,think about future,
live with Faith,peace,balance,joy,before u die..
What remains after from u?
what remains after from me?
Just memories my friend,just memories
we wrote it a day for others
to read,to contemplate,to think,to see.
May God,the one and only,
who has no partner,no son or daughter,
may God bless our martyrs,
may God bless our lands,our planet,
to live with faith,freedom,glory and peace.

What remains after is whatever we make out of life and death. Your line Can we tell them that we smelled her blood coming by wind is both powerful and poignant reminder of the terrible losses experienced by far too many in this world.
what remains after we are gone is determined by the
song we sung. Thanks for the share.
