[hometext] => I'm joining the U.S.A.F. my friends tell me no
[bodytext] => I made a decision I'm gonna join the force I can serve my country See the world And get free education In my mind i feel it is the right thing My friends say no I need to go to school and get a "real" job But i ask a question How is it what i am doing is not a real job If it were not for people like me Where would this great country be No one knows for sure But we may guess We could be like USSR Or maybe Iraq Which if we were like Iraq i would have to kill my self Or maybe like Cuba But alass we are not We are a land of the free Granted i'm joining for me Not my friends But it would be nice to have some support I guess i have no true friends Again if it weren't for me they would be able to choose their job I will strap on my boots Ware my camo Report for duty at 05:00 I will take the oath I will pretect the ones who told me no They will be thanking me when i'm fighting for there freedom They expect me to write But why? So they can tell me more of how dumb i was But how can what i'm doing be dumb Just because from time to time i'm putting my life on the line So my family can be happy So my kids can grow up happy And free to learn as they wish Not be force fed How great the dictator is Oh yeah i'm pretecting our voting rights to And all core democratic values So i ask you people I ask if what i'm doing is really so wrong? If what i am doing in some way is a sin please tell me If what i'm doing is smething dumb please tell me If what i'm doing is not a good choice for my life please tell me So i can know just who it is i'm defending. Is it a bunch of traders Or is it the true americans. That support the troops What happend to patriotism Please tell me It used to be when someone joined People were so happy for them But now my own family is telling me no You know what **** em I will join to defend my own freedom's [comments] => 5 [counter] => 192 [topic] => 28 [informant] => rugby_player [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Patriotic )

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. ©
