I understand that this work might make some poeple mad at me, but I'm outsppoken with my views and if they get mad then they get mad. If I offend some one I am sorry, but this is how I feel. ---------------------------------------------------- We shouldn’t be over there What about us? Your fighting for a corrupt government Your reasons are wrong You have no business over there Stay here Brainwashed Bullet catcher Murderer Who are these words said to? Our armed forces The ones who are protecting us We don’t respect them like they should be You say we shouldn’t be over there Would you like them over here? Yes we have problems of our own I don’t under mind that fact But they have made there problems ours When they killed our own On our soil With our planes They brought us into there world And now that we retaliate Our defenders take the hate from others Why do I worry? Why do I bring this to your attention? Why should I care? Because I will be one of those you hate I will be the one in uniform I will be the “brain washed bullet catcher” Will you do this to me as well? Will you cast me away because I fight for the flag? Because I protect you? Say all this to a Marine To a Ranger To a Seal Say this to your protectors The ones who allow you to sleep in peace at night The ones who die for you Maybe we are bullet catchers But we have a reason To be what we are Would you like to be the one? Who kill to protect? Who are outcast because they protect? Why don’t you stand up? Why not take the flag up yourself? Why not become a “bullet catcher”? If you can’t stand for your own protection Then why do you shun the ones who do? Why do you hate them for keeping you safe? Take up the challenge Protect yourself Protect your family Or shut up Read my work and read my thoughts |

Wow. This is awesome. I love the last stanza and the last line line of the whole thing! Beautifully written. Don't worry about what everyone thinks. I'm another fan of the military. I want to be a nurse. For multiple of reasons. My mother was in the army and my father in the navy. I've had a an infatuation with the Navy since before time. I'm hoping when I get out of high school I can join the military. Representatives come to me school at least once a month. I always get info on it. I even got some from the marines. This write of yours really expresses what you feel. It gave me the chills. I love it! I truly really absolutely felt it. The honor and pride that you have to speak out for yourself and the rest of the American Military. If it weren't for you and everyone else, there would be no America. I thank you! I've just re-planned my future. GOOD JOB! And good luck where every you end up! Peace, Love, and Happiness!!!!!!! ~*~Kirah~*~ PS....THIS IS DEFINATELY LIBRARY MATERIAL! *Mistakes are made, you pay for them, then you do it again.* |
