John Allen Poet I do not know?

Just Another Day

To think that this was over 
that the battles fought were gone 
Stupid little boy 
the war has just begun 

So naive to think that this was done 
even though you have taken it all before 
you would think you would have learned by now 
that Hope is on a different shore 

Love is not for you little one 
for you comes the shield and the sword 
no rest for the weary 
just an illusion to endlessly follow toward 

To think that you were but a hero 
about to reap his due reward 
when in fact you never left 
this trench of no return 

How many scars mark your soul 
how many tears have yet to dry 
after all this you dare to stop 
and ask the standard why 

Because you silly poetic fool 
this is your only way 
this is how you live 
just another day
