Crimson Hopes and Dreams

I’ve watched the soldier give, crimson blood, heroic sweat, and fallen comrade tears. I’ve pondered at the ignorance of society whose, stated they’ve wasted days, months and years. I’ve seen our soldiers suffer, for a mission others now see as being in selfishness vain. I’ve watched as humanity snubs the truth; our troops are ferocious and brutally insane. I’ve observed our blanket of freedom, now sport vast ragged holes and tears at the seams. I’ve witnessed the fraying of Liberty, which our soldiers delivered thru crimson hopes and dreams. I’ve viewed the injured and disabled, now home after serving their country honorably. I’ve grasped societies notion, the troops are now merely a number like me.
