Wars Defiant Ones

(7/2/12) They came back from the war as defiant as can be As if they had a split personality. Tragedies had opened up the doors To many things they never saw before. Seeing homeless children roaming the streets Women who didn’t listen - would get beat. Terrorist groups killing their own Pipe bombs planted , ready to be blown. Civilians scattering all around Dead bodies laying on the ground. Men , women and children in the square On their knees saying their prayers But to a terrorist they don’t care. Don’t they realize that life must change Nothing ever stays the same. Families being torn apart As death tears at their hearts. Natural causes kill millions of people every day Why are we letting war lead the way? No matter what name for GOD you may use When it comes to war - we all lose. Look at the hospitals in a war zone Children left with no skin and broken bones People have lost many a limb The war is getting worse - it looks grim. YES !AMERICA has lots of imperfections But people look to us for protection. Our soldiers After seeing all the atrocities They come back defiant as can be To try to change the course of history.
