Stop them!
Don't make them go!!!
They are going to die!
Why? Why? Why?
It won't matter!
Our boys sacrificed too much!
Did you see their faces?
They love each other
There is nothing left except that love
Their duty is to each other
Brothers
They die together
They live together
They screamed, "Bail out Johnny!!
BAIL OUT!
But he didn't
He didn't
Fold a flag for his mother
Another flag
Sew another one
We will need more
More flags
No
No God
Why so many flags?
These won't fly Lord
His mother will never let it go
She will put it next to her womb
Next to where Johnny was made
She wants to think about a baby
How it moved inside her
How it hurt so much when he was born
She wanted to feel the pain of birth
Just as he felt the pain of death
She so wished it was her
It wasn't right
Pride was not ready for her heart
Only the blood of birth and death
No!!!
Stop them!!!
She drove to the base
"Let me in!!!"
"I have to talk to Johnny"
"Tell him not to go!""
"Martha! Martha! Martha! What's wrong?"
"It's Johnny! Tell him to not fly today!!"
"Martha. Johnny's gone. Long ago."
"No! Tell him don't go"
"Don't go"
"Don't go Johnny!"
"Don't go!!!!!!!"
