[bodytext] => If you ever asked a soldier as to why did he went to war to fight and die in foreign corners why do they relish this horrible endeavour though not accurate in all the census what you will hear will echo familiar the answer most likely that you will hear is perhaps delivered in this exact temper it is not my wish to become a soldier nor my ambition to kill and conquer I am for the most a man as equal as any that walked through life's adventure but I always have this curious tingle whenever I sing the national anthem as I lift my sight to the the national flag I felt these tuggings in my heart's bosom I am not really brave though not a coward either but I would if asked probably with vigor lay down my life for pride and granduer fighting to the end against scourge and terrors for deep within my core my very being sits a boy with his wooden sword unsheathing with visions of glory that war does bring the dedication to duty that my heart does cling but above and beyond my childish fancy is strangely enough my belief in serenity I truly believe that for the sake of posterity I will lay my life and partake in savagery another anchor to my dreams of soldiers is my belief in fellow men in valor and honor for there is to me no greater honor then to stand with another in glorious valor for the true meaning of the word soldier the true calling of the word honor is perhaps the men you stand beside of at that lonely hour when the need is most dire [comments] => 4 [counter] => 181 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Baronhawk [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
