America's War

What should I write about today, So many important things to say. Like what is on tv this morning More bad news, I saw that coming Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, Our boys are fighting, we want them back. The soldiers know just what to do, It's the politicos who have no clue. Some say send more, some say less, I say "Don't the generals know what's best?" Let's follow thier experienced lead Fight these wars and end these things. Is it even possible for us to win? Didn't we learn this in Vietnam? We fight an enemy we cannot find They laugh at us all the time. America, the world's remaining superpower, Can't find one guy for eight years now. I say instead of using soldier's eyes We do our looking from the skies. With fighters and bombers and missles too, and all the damage that they can do. Why risk one soldier to an IED When we can take out a whole city Isn't this why we bought these weapons, To warn off unfriendly foreign aggression? Instead they sit on ships and subs, I say it's time to take off the gloves. They came after us in New York City, Now it's our turn to make them see. That America does not play games. When at our citizens ,they take aim. A few missles landing in their back yards Should make them realize its not that hard For us to get them wherever they may be If we fight our war with technology Finding one man is hard, it's tough But with a missle close is enough. If we take out everything that is standing Sure makes it easier for the planning He is hiding somewhere behind key and lock, Lets start bombing block by block Eventually they'll turn him in, When they see we're not playin. They will say" we have had enough" It's America that's tough. This one man is not worth our country Not worth our lives,loves and family Then our soldiers can come home, Ended,finished case is closed. Till the next time we are attacked, but they will know we WILL fight back. Showing them we will now cower We have American firepower. We have soldiers who are the best, we want victory and nothing less. So to the zealots we say to thee Find some other way to plea Your cause to the world today Don't come at us, we WILL NOT play.

Interesting political point of view. How old are you and are you of military age? I say change the draft age to 48 and above and we'll see more talking and fighting. Keep writing. Sara

Interesting poem and I enjoyed reading it. I do have to say that, actually, if you understand these religious fanatics, they would rather die, then turn him in. No weapons can fight against religious fanatics. Thank you for sharing your thoughts in rhyme. Caroline.
