Fear

Fear A dark night and all seems well When out of nowhere, the bright burst This stirs so much to tell People running to the berm Rifles firing, mortars thumping and people screaming I go my area and look into the night There it is a big firefight Red tracers, green ones too, crossing and hitting the berm Like a fireworks display The night seems like it will never end In area's is louder and more I wonder if people know the pain of war As the sun begins to rise, you look out in the space There are no bodies, nothing not even a trace that it all happened Your mind starts to wonder if it even happened or was it a dream You don't know until the end When you hear who got hurt, or who is dead Yes this is war, this is the price people pay to keep a nation free Yet those at home don't understand Children running around, people talking When our national anthem is played They don't know the price of freedom Like those men and woman who are in graves.
