[hometext] => Why do we have war?
[bodytext] => You are about to kill me, Your rifle is raised, I am in your sights, Finger on the trigger. You must kill me, You have been trained, And the order must be obeyed, For like you, I am a soldier. In my pocket a picture, Like you I have a wife, And a child and parents, All who love me. Leaders are far away, This stench is ours alone, We fight for our lives, To make others happy. Take no joy in this hell, Time hides the reality, Mud goes, grass grows, But here, now, this is my death. Shoot me, I will fall and be buried with honour, But I will still remain, For I am every soldier that has ever been.
