Blown Away
© 2006 Neil Porter
I’m so sad
Another sleepless night
Heartless missiles flying
Desperate people crying
Over there
It’s so bad
I don’t know how you sleep
All of this attention
No signs of intervention
Over there
Leaders give the orders
Someone pulls the trigger
Someone straps the bombs on
Someone aims the missile
They all make decisions
All except the targets
They get blown away
It can’t be
These pictures can’t be real
Demolishing a nation
Killing moderation
Over there
I can’t see
How this can ever heal
Politicians lying
Frightened people dying
Over there
Armies do the fighting
No-one wants to be there
No-one wants to die there
No-one seems to listen
No-one hears the children
No-one has the answers
They all get blown away

If God Is Love
© Neil Porter 2006
Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day
A day in late December
Jesus was a man of peace they say
That I do remember
I’d like to see a happy Christmas
I’d love to see a peaceful year
To see a safe and happy Christmas
A time of peace and joy and cheer
If I was a man inclined to pray
What would I be saying?
“Peace on earth forever from this day”
That’s what I’d be praying
Will we see a happy Christmas,
Or just another day of tears?
I’d really like to see this Christmas
Bring joy and hope and ease our fears
When I was young they told me “God is love”
And that he came from “up above”
I wonder what he sees up there
Sometimes he doesn’t seem to care
If Jesus Christ returned to earth today
What would he be thinking?
Would he turn his back and walk away?
Watch his land of birth just sinking
If he was coming home this Christmas
If he was coming home this year
Do you think he’d see a happy Christmas?
A time of peace and joy and cheer
