The Wolf And His Pen

Do You Remember

Do you remember

That fateful day in September

When those people died

And their voices cried

In agony

What made the men so cold, was it the publicity

Was it twisted religion

Just think of all the children

Who lost their parents in the stones and fire

Those loved ones who reluctantly retired

Now you complain about the fight and the economy

But remember it was you who called our men to duty

And now that things are sore

Our men don't even know what they are fighting for

There is no support

And there isn't any comfort

For those that give their lives and their will

Now I know things are rough but still

Remember what we are fighting for

They fought for your freedom they fought the Revolutionary War

They fought for desegregation they fought theCivil War

They fought the world twice so far they fought WWI & WWII

They fought communism for you and me they foughtKorea & Vietnam

But now that things are getting tough

You are all for leaving those men in the rough

They've lost their lives for what were they to leave right now

It would be just as bad if our president were Mao

Has your child come home in a body bag

Thrown by shrapnel like a rag

Mothers cry tears

Fathers realize their fears

All because people didn't support didn't believe

Those poor souls only grieve

For themselves and their possessions

No one cares about confessions

And now

As people go separate ways

And look back on those sad tear filled days

Will you remember

That fateful day in September?
