One hundred thousand

This is my take on Plato's Quote "A hero is born among a hundred, a wise man is found among a thousand, but an accomplished one might not be found even among a hundred thousand men." Love or hate??

Terrible nightmares

Plagued every waking moment.

Shots fired; Bodies rolled.

Souls lost forever in the mold.

Trying to be something your not.

Your among-st many people.

All with a different face,

And the same story.

Its kill or be killed kind of world.

Machine gun to Machine gun.

Seems like no other way out.

Lost hopes and forgotten dreams.

A hero is being born out of this darkness.

A wise man is found among the thousands.

But an accomplished one might not be found.

Even among a hundred thousand men.

With their war paint on they find a reason to fight.

Thinking of a loved one or their fellow brother.

Everyone has a reason to fight; Good or Bad.

Sometimes though you got to pick our battles.

A hero was found,

A wise man was found.

One accomplished man was found.

But we call them U.S. Soldiers.

A hero, a wise man and an accomplished man all rolled into one hundred thousand.

This would be a smashing tribute to our soldiers! You should really think about sending this out to them. I am sure they would really appreciate your words.
