Who We Are

• Artist: ViewerDiscretionsAdvised
• Description: The Iraq war began on March 19, 2003. Or, well, okay, that's the widely excepted starting date of the war (conspiracy theorists, don't flame). On the day I'm writing this, 29 days, three months and five years ago. Hopefully you don't flame my politics (cause, frankly, this is about life and death more than politics) but if you must, be intelligent. Thanks!

What have you done?

Lost lives
Of the young
The old
War sees no difference
What have you done?

Do you remember peace?
Have you forgotten love?
How long has it been?
How far have we fallen?

As minutes roll off the clock
Numbers melting into smears
Life melting into death
Do you remember where we started?
Do you even know why?

Do you think of us when it’s quiet?
When the cameras are off
And the world slows
Do you remember?

Do you look into the world
And think of what you’ve done
Unguarded
Free
Do you even remember guilt?

Have we forgotten
What it means to care?
To help
To rebuild
Without death in the way?

How can I make you remember?
29 days
3 months
5 years
What have we done?
