An Endless War

Riddling scars of past wounds, each with their own story Written deep within the skin, those of defeat and of glory Words unspoken of stinging despair, a past left forgotten Memories will not allow it; the mind is only gone rotten Explosions that once shook the lands, wounding this earth Fires plagued those homes, robbing all of their self worth Bullets that cut through the winds, disturbing its pure song Smoke polluted the air, clouding reasons of what is wrong Children convinced of their sacrifice being used for right Women made to battle, persuaded by such vengeful spite Men with a purpose of disposing of enemies by any way Using innocence, or family, for just to survive to this day Blinded by the wool pulled down over our unseeing eye Manipulated by our nation who care not if we live or die We survived a Hell on earth, only to come back to hate In serving this country, as a soldier I am no longer great I look back with anger in my heart, still fighting that war Watching as younger soldiers sacrifice for nothing more I only hope that this country treats them better then me And that their souls remain intact, to never stop being free
