[hometext] => This is simply a point of view about the wars in which America is now involved. In no way am I commenting on those who are serving , instead it is the process which I call into question
[bodytext] => I saw the face of war today and oh how young it was... The looks of fear, worry, forlorn dismay and exactly what is this war's cause? We are sending children out to fight it doesn't matter how you slice it Whether for greed, to remove a dictator or to show our might... The young should not have to pay this price because it is America's will The flag may wave, as the blood does spill dying for greed is never right or nice... Nor is going to war to gain access to oil, making the rich even richer While our soldiers barely have enough to eat and their blood is soaking the soil... Our mothers and wives wail our husbands and fathers cry, And bad arguments do fail to convince the rest of the world Why they should rise up in arms or die [comments] => 3 [counter] => 178 [topic] => 57 [informant] => summerwine [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => war )
