Awards in Consistency

5 years. too many lives and what is it all for? I always ask how he sleeps at night?

 

Five years going strong

Awards in consistency

Don’t let go

Don’t get out

Don’t loose the course

What would people say if you changed your mind now?

They would say you flip flopped,

Say you wavered

Call you a weak commander in chief.

Don’t break your promise

You promised it would be here for the next in line to handle

Nobody wants to be alone

Do it alone

No one

Stay Strong

Be the one that everyone will remember

And they will….

 

 

Tonight when you go to sleep instead of sheep,

 I have something else for you to count:

 

3,980 U.S Deaths

29,320 Wounded

 

81,874-89,853

Documented Iraqi Civilian Deaths from Violence

 

Author's Note

if you are Pro-war or Pro death as I see it, this time, i ask you to keep it to yourself. I am feeling emotional about how many lives have been taken for what I feel is unnecessary and unjust reasons. I don't want to argue over that.
