Liberty
Civilians;
enjoy everyday freedoms,
eating home-cooked meals
and celebrating life with their families,
devoting their days to simple yet expected pleasures.
Freedom and pleasure are gained for one and all through pain and fear.
Devoting their days to fighting those who hate our pleasure
are men and woman who miss their families,
they eat cold rationed meals
and gain us our freedom;
Soldiers
