DEVIL'S SOLITUDE

DEVIL'S SOLITUDE

Why don't we talk about war?

Are we afraid of bringing it back alive?

Or are we afraid of something more?

Why are we terrified of PTSD?

Or the soldiers that managed to survive it?

How come we never talk about what you lose

When you shoot?

Do we realize who they even are

When they come back alive?

Why do we wonder about their nightmares?

How come we never ask them about it?

What goes on in their mind?

When it's all over who do we find?

Are the screams at night all that they've left behind?

Does insanity gets it's recognition?

Or are they still on their mission?

How do we know we've got our loved ones back?

Have their hearts turned to black?

How do I apologize proprerly?

To ever single greiving family?

Or should I express my gratitude?

And only hope I don't sound rude?

Why don't we talk about that 21s devil's solitude?
