Bombs fall from the sky,
making smiles,
turn into tears.
Tears glisten in their eyes.
Their loved ones are never coming back.

Many that left dreamed of returning,
some had a death wish,
And some just wanted to be noticed.

People who once had hopes and dreams,
now are gone.
The happiness ****** from their souls.

"It's for our country," they say,
But, they'll never join in,
they'll never understand.
The true pain can never be understood,
by those on the sidelines.

As time drags on,
More join them,
burning everything we know.

Burning those precious futures away.
Along with their souls.
