Grey covered the sky As tears rolled down my eye For my thoughts were pre-occupied With the boy who had just died. I looked at him, as he looked at me How could this boy be my enemy? He looked about eighteen years old And in his hand a gun he did hold But I could not shoot, I would not shoot; he looked just like my brother! I tried to find a way out, but surely there was no other It was his life or mine And I was running out of time With a pounding heart, I closed my eyes and quickly pulled the trigger It's hard to forget This nightmare I see of a boy, my brother, my enemy.
