War

She sent him off
With hugs and kisses
With silent prayers
And hopeful wishes

They took him away
Her baby boy
And gave him a real gun
Not like his old toy

They told him to "suck it up"
To be a "real man"
So he grinned and bared it
While to the battlefeilds he ran

The loud "bang"s in his ears
The tears on his face
The "man" in front of him falls
He must step up to take his place

With fear in his eyes
He hears one last "boom"
And falls to the ground
His family's doom.

Back at home they say
"This is for all he's done"
As they hand her a medal
In place of her son.

"As they hand her a medal

Umm, I’m not really sure where to start on this one…

As harsh as this may sound to everyone, this is just what happens in war, it’s sad, it violent, but sometimes it is necessary that war happens…

Pullingxthextrigger- very good write on this, not one of my favorites by you, but still very nice…
I also like the part where they hand her a medal in place of her son, it’s really sad, but also true that they do this, someone once told me it’s partly to make the family feel better, how that works I’m not sure…

Anyway, nice job on this one, I can’t wait to see more of your poems

war may be neccesary ( not to mock you, sorry) but it isn't all that good. we should mourn for our soliers. it should remind of us who is dying for us.

         -thnx ryan.

would you give your life so easily?

dont wanna seam like a downer but he is right. We should all mourn for our soldiers. because think about it,would you do it? I dont want to imply that your a wuss or anything just to say that it would be very scary.

On the other hand the write itself was terrific. it was fantastic. it was superb. Need I go on?
