At Cross Purposes(Missing w/ Jack Lemmon)

They the nation
he his son
ends of creation
ends of a gun
sought for truths
ends don't meet
fight for freedom
fight in the street
Generals maneuver
Industrialist need
Toppling war lords
right, left succeed.


Strong running river, fleeing in fright
Son into cross-fire
yielded up life.
Father seeks truth now,
father and wife.
Head long down hill run
hospital steeds.
bedridden visitors
lost in their deeds.
farther on farther
bodies and morgue
death is lifes' syndrome
closes the doors.

I'll admit said the general
its too close to call,
I believe that he lost it;
his life; after all.

Subsequent damages
subsequent lives
Allende long dead
and soldier now thrives.
Father and daughter
lost only one
The country lost freedom
at points of a gun.
