An Interview With a Soldier

He was just a boy in a foreign place, Far from home amongst people from a different race. Fighting a war that many people back home were not supportive of, Have they forgot the day those airplanes flew into those Twin Towers from above? How many children lost a mom or a dad that day? We didn’t start it and we shouldn’t be asked to look the other way. He said I’ve heard it called a Jihad, a religious war, He said we don’t push Jesus on nobody, and we not going to allow Him slandered, not on my watch, not by far. He said I was in high school the day I watched those towers fall, And I counted the days to join up, I felt the call. I felt molested and I remember how it made me sick, And I saw America pull together, strong, powerful, determined and quick. I saw the eagle shed a tear, then I saw her talons clamp the arrows tight, And I knew then, that we were going to set things right. That’s why I’m here to defend or die, Cause I still love my country and let her flag always fly high.
