I didn't start the war.  
I swear it wasn't me!  
I was sitting in my bedroom,  
listening to music and drinking tea.  

I have no reason to fight,  
to ****, or retaliate.  
I despise violence;  
I also meditate.  

I don't follow the news;  
I'd say they rather follow me.  
My only crime is that I  
feel for those who were killed.  

And yes, I cried when I saw  
a woman hugging her dead child.  
Her eyes were red from screaming  
into the silence of the sky.  

Yes, I cried when I saw her;  
I couldn't stop my tears.  
My only crime is that I  
feel for those who were killed.
