Poem
My daughter asked me today Why did my daddy go away I had to hold my tears It was hard to see that my husband had missed so many years His little girl was now in front of me asking for her dad God help me what can I say that won’t make her mad Your daddy had to go be a superhero like on tv That’s why he’s not here with you or me He is out fighting the evil forces that would try to hurt us Don’t worry he will be back soon in that you can thrust Mommy you sound like what my teacher in school said to me She said America is the land of thrust and home of the free I hugged my little girl and off to eat dinner we went I was hoping that her moment was over and she had nothing left to vent But once more she turned to me and ask Mommy why does everybody look so sad I saw on TV all the people began to bleed I stop and said hunnie what do you mean She said their eyes are bleeding As I turned to look at what she was seeing I realized my daughter was referring to tears Is this what you mean hunnie is this part of your fears Yes mommy their eyes all bleed At that moment I realized what America had us see My daughter thought tears were blood and that scares me She sees everyone cry over the lost souls of this war I cannot believe this country has taken it this far Mommy the kids in school say that’s where daddy was seen Mommy I don’t want to be part of the people in the country that bleeds By Anexis/Angel Blood Money Poet
