Trapped In Backyards

Excuse themselves from war they try.
As if their deeds will disappear with alibis.
With theft and segregation ties...
Lies created now stare back in their eyes.

Isolated are those who run,
From a reality they chose to shun!
And shambles of slaughter,
Leaves them trapped in backyards.
Arguing amongst themselves...
No one wants to admit,
They played an active part!

And the price paid for this shame,
Haunts the claim...
The way they sought to live,
Is not their blame!
