the many body bags fill with each passing day conflicts on other soil hath put them there family and friends hear of deaths far away where the explosive devices don't care the troops sent to countries of other view their arrival greeted with hostility stepping on foreign tract means a slew nowhere is there a trace of affability our soldiers our sons our brothers our boys engaged in wars where they'll pay profound military planners implement their ploys the caskets keep returning to home ground soldiers wrapped in disposable bags with serial numbers on their dog-tags
