About where the war went?

::::::::

Does anybody know
Where the war has gone?

Has it disappeared
Into a fog
Of wishful thinking?

Has it become victim
To the mind-sucking
We've all become numb to?

From buying the idea
Of "weapons of mass destruction"
To buying the idea
That things are getting better...

We've all become fools of the machine

Even if "things are getting better"
What the hell does "better" really mean?

Will it bring back the dead?
Will it heal all the wounds?
Will it help the helpless in Iraq?
Will it end our dependence on oil
Or turn our global terror back?

We stand at a crossroads
Coddled, confused, and totally
Full of crap

We stand on the edge
Lost, lonely, and befuddled
By a very inaccurate map

Like our forbears
Of Greece and Rome
We consume, conquer
And play...

Thinking the fires we've started
And the rocks we've set rolling
Won't cover and consume us one day

By the way...
Does anyone know
Where the war is going?
