As someone who is seriously against troops fighting and war in general , I hate the idea that places are being advertised even on daily TV. Our troops have pulled out of Iraq now , but I don't think anywhere is truly fixed by what seems like useless fighting.So , as with all things I feel strongly about - I wrote a poem , comment , vote and follow :)
I'm running into battle
Knife held before me
If I die I go with honour
Because God is behind me.
They're with their guns
Pointed at me
Headed into battle
Winning all they see.
They're doing it in God's name too ...
So who will go to Heaven ?
With everyone's weapon blessed -
Who's hand is the upper ?
With everyone's confidence ,
How many people lose their 'other'?
I just dont see the point in this ,
The running and the screaming,
I don't want to be a part of this ,
As my peers are falling - bleeding.
Why is the young man fighting the old man's war?
As they sit and watch , confortable with it all.
It's a sick game,
We're just pawns on a board.
We're putting up with the death sentence placed on us when we're born.
Headed out - blessed - in God's name.
We just want to stop.
We don't want to fight.
Noone will win.
Too many die.
Take us all home.
Wipe our boots free of mud,
Throw out the guns,
And settle it - Like you should.
