The railway man

Travelling back through time
Pain; mind rebelling
Against abhorrent crimes
War; the ampi-theatre
Where the acts played out
Cruelty dealt
Without regard for life
Starvation; illness; overwork
All because of higher powers
Lying to their own people
Propaganda; wrong agenda
Many died for little gain

A radio to hear some news
The cause of all their pain
They only sought to escape it all
By hearing a familiar voice
A little news to ease it all
To give a little hope
Anything but to surrender
Anything to help them cope

The Railway Man
Starring Colin Firth
