Why is a Body Bag Black?
They talk of reason and the love of God
and the troops out there doing a wonderful job
They've got to be found, there's no turning back
But why is a body bag Black?
He stood on trial for the slaughter of others
They caught up with him and killed his sons and brothers
he fell through a trap door hands tied behind his back
They put him in a body bag, but was it Black?
When will the league of nations see sense
and stop sitting on the barbed wire fence
Lets put some more Tyrants on the rack
But this isn't why a body bag is Black!
Please stand proud, it was not a sin
Be ready to receive your next of kin
Dont bury them and turn your back
Return to sender that body bag of Black!
In Guantanamo bay, receiving the cosh
Blair and Bush in election whitewash
Don't question the cause its alright Jack
But if you still need to know why a body bag is Black!
Its because of the war in Iraq!

I could argue that last point but i won't.
There are some lines in this which could possibly upset certain people if taken the wrong way. Personally i enjoyed reading it. In this bag, i think the rhyme and form it takes allows you to get away with saying something you want to get off your chest but without aiming your grievances at anyone in particular.
Well done i think.
