QUESTIONS FOR DADDY

Can I ask you Daddy what did you do?
Are you a soldier during World War Two 
My best friend at school says this isn't true
She says you are the man who kills every Jew

Can I ask you Daddy is my best friend right?
If she is how do you sleep easy at night
Daddy I notice your face is no longer white
Looks very worried to me and quite a sight 

One more question Daddy before I go to bed
How many people have you seen end up dead
I fear that answer with anxiety and dread
Don't want people to die spilling bloodshed

Nice take on an age old question Kieran, if an enemy is killed by a hero...is it still murder? ...?
