Soldiers Do Soldiers do what soldiers must obeying orders in the dust of soon to be forgotten wars we'll never see the things they saw We sit here in our ivory chairs to never understand the fear the joy of life that goes away on every single war filled day Then off to war we send our child knowing they will never reconcile the innocence that they once felt with the guns they have held For the ones that lose the fight we fly them in in dead of night no heroes welcome back for them just spat aside like chesty phlegm Wounded barely kept alive in hospitals both far and wide no visits from their loving kin as if it was some nasty sin How can they ever understand why they die in foreign lands The future will hold other days when our kids we send away Politicians and their views sustaining some immortal feuds show TV News a teary eye but never send their kids to die ... .. Live It |

LongTe~ The mortal pains of war touch us all and you have expressed the pain well~ I don't need to agree that - 'Politicians and their views sustaining some immortal feuds show TV News a teary eye but never send their kids to die' - to say that overall you make an impressive penning~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
