An E-mail came the other day
one man stood on another
I hope it wasn't seen
by his father or his mother
the one on top was smiling
with a gun over his head
the one beneath had staring eyes
perhaps because he's dead
Greetings from Afghanistan
my buddies e-mail went
a Christmas gift for you back home
to hell this man I sent..
I gave my friend some army gear
and clothes  to keep him dry
now he's killing people
and making mothers cry
should have given him a conscience
and love for fellow men
I hope he reads this poem
and he doesn't **** again
why despoil him after killing the poor guy? He looked ok, he had a kind face, just a man maybe bullied into holding a gun.
Said what I thought to Kigger (the army mate)he  found my views irksome. So, we're not really pals any more, and he got free beer for shooting the man.
