Oh How the Bodies Did Burn

Oh how the bodies did burn
As they prayed for the end
But we will never learn

Each burning body in turn
Beyond capacity to mend
Oh how the bodies did burn

For peace and love we yearn
Yet the weak we will not defend
Why will we never learn

Some believe this is what we earn
It never happened, others pretend
But how the bodies did burn

Piles of bodies, no one can discern
As the piles of bodies blend
Yet we will ever learn

Is it any of our concern
What happens to our poorer friend
Oh how the bodies will burn
Unless we learn.
