Questions for War

Written November 23. 2004, at 17:35 GMT.

You can't deny
the other side
don't wanna die
anymore than we do.

What I'm trying to say
is, don't they pray
to the same god
that we do?

Tell me how does God choose?
Whose prayers does he refuse?

Who turns the wheel,
who throws the dice,
on the day after tomorrow?

-- Tom Waits, 2004. Song: The Day After Tomorrow. Album: Real Gone.
