why?A Poem by dead poet 79
So many soldiers dying In lands far away But, for what cause? An empty war By a man with An empty heart And an empty soul. The sand Blurs everyones vision. "Who are we shooting at? Why are we shooting at them?" So many questions asked But the spin keeps coming A "victory" is what is the plan But to what lose How many must die Before everyone is aloud to come home To be with the families They miss To see the babies That were born While they were in a far away land. "Can we come home now?" "No, we have not won yet." "But, how do we win?" No answer ever comes. All started as a war Then it was an escalation Now its a conflict. But the troops have never Changed locations. Now the world hates us Our leader called the Anti-Christ. Sounds of humanity Ring in my ears. Or, Is that just another bomb? Or, Is that the sound of me dying. © 2009 dead poet 79 |
