Remembering
I wonder what it sounded like
To hear a bullet whizz by your head?
I wonder what it felt like
When you realized you still had another day.
I wonder why you did it
why you put your life at risk.
I wonder what you were thinking
as your bullet swallowed a life.
And I wonder what you thought
when you realized you were going home.
The glory of war all but evaporated
With every round you shot
The spoils faded slowly
With every drop you spilt
The events that haunt you daily
Will try to make you fall
Your past will try to tag you
And so you build a wall
Your safe, no fear, no death
But you still fear death in safety
The poppy stills your thoughts
So you wear one
