Liberty

Civilians;
                                         enjoy everyday freedoms,
                                       eating home-cooked meals
                              and celebrating life with their families,
                  devoting their days to simple yet expected pleasures.
Freedom and pleasure are gained for one and all through pain and fear.
            Devoting their days to fighting those who hate our pleasure
                       are men and woman who miss their families,
                                       they eat cold rationed meals
                                          and gain us our freedom;
                                                       Soldiers
