Cartography

Once I painted sunsets
And mountain tops and streams
Now I draw the details 
Of war and broken dreams

Only two dimensions
For things I need to show
Redlines for the frontlines
In fields where poppies grow

The sea is blue
The fields are green
The roads a shade of brown
Outlines and a shade of grey
For what was once a town.

One day they’ll publish history books
With maps like ones I draw
With diagrams and footnotes
That show the end to war

Once I painted pictures
Of mountain tops and lakes
Now I plot the consequence
Of war and hearts that break

Only two dimensions
For things I need to show
Redlines for the frontlines
In fields where poppies grow

Once I painted sunsets
And mountain tops and streams
Now I draw the details 
Of war and broken dreams
