War Has Come

Bullets whizz by, Like the rain, On a stormy day, As bodies dropped here and there, Blood soaking into the ground, And into boots of America’s soldiers. War Has Come. Lets go back in time, To see what happened before the war. It all started with a smile, People laughing out loud, Seeing the sun shine behind the clouds, Seeing family members be happy. War Has Come. Thinking of the past, America’s troops have hope for the future. When one dies, The whole world knows their name. Families grieve for their husbands, Daughters, brothers, and wives. War Has Come. I cannot pretend to know how you feel, But know that I’m here for you, Reach for my heart, Cause its held out to you, My shoulders are small, But you can cry on them too. Everything changes, But know this, I’m here for you. War Has Come.
