Its taking the life of another by hand or by gun
But to do for my country for all not just one
Is an honor for few a hell for some

Among the ranks of heros in lands unkown
In the sands of deserts, hungry alone
No sleep no rest just memories of home
we are paid in honor and pain till our job is done. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 198 [topic] => 57 [informant] => smackmeplz24 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => war )

Topic: war



War is not beauty war is not fun
Its taking the life of another by hand or by gun
But to do for my country for all not just one
Is an honor for few a hell for some

Among the ranks of heros in lands unkown
In the sands of deserts, hungry alone
No sleep no rest just memories of home
we are paid in honor and pain till our job is done.

Very well put in the eyes of a soldier
if only others could understand the way you have
Great job
