Sticks and stones
will break my bones
will break my bones
childhood games
of
toy soldiers
toy soldiers
in miniature forests
Where anything is possible
a tulip for a gun
a leaf bayonet
Cowards become heroes
and heroes win the day
But when
reality bites
a game no longer
the garden becomes a battlefield
the toy soldier becomes a man
Fighting for his life
in a war
where there are no winners
a game no longer
the garden becomes a battlefield
the toy soldier becomes a man
Fighting for his life
in a war
where there are no winners
