Poems
Mar 2014
Soldier
Protector and Savior
Savior of Peace
Make war not love
To save the ones you love...
Sacrifice
Suffer for others that is your vice
Live while others die
Just a roll of the die
A calling...
Lover's wait for that call
Call one last time
To say it was his time
He passed away
Away in a far off land
Taking up arms
Forced from his lover's arms
Fighting the good fight
Left alone at night...
Devoid of her company
A company of heroes
Giving it all
All for one and one for all.
Honor for your life
A life honor bound
With a price to pay
For the crimes of another
Worlds away
Away from the world you know
No room for fear
Fear heaven's out of room
Saints guide your step
One mis-step
Follows the last
Your future has now passed
Standing as brothers
Missing another
Each a story
Yet told
Day to Day
A new place
Weather worn face
With all new fears to face...
Baptism by fire
Fire your gun
Fallen brothers
Their crying mothers
Pull the trigger
A decision, a snap decision
Or rounds snap snap snap
snap this silence
**** to live
Live to ****
Forced to action
Action of force
Necessity is his weapon
Safety off
Off to secure your safety
Driven by some danger
Answer the call
A call to duty
To fulfill
Fulfill your destiny
Legacy
So much life left to see
Yet blind to me
Is the key
Peace is fake
Faked to pick up the peaces
Of mistakes
Mistakes still made
Now we pay
Pay this price
Price of our lives
Lives spent
Wasted on that foreign soil
Still they toil
Facing enemies
Enemies of who?
Not a man's but a nations
Nations call on their own
To own their failures
In times less sure...
