Soldiers Plight
We’re Soldiers!!!
We’re resented, we’re praised
And we’re shattered again.
None tamed will, or timid men
We could only wait; Wait to live, wait to die!
The threat of “Freedom” will not abide!
Oh the hardships that they braved
One killed by us!
One killed by them!
Another bullet! Another bomb!
Another lost! Another saved?
Facing every challenge but we’re calm
Lessons in life the road is paved
Will tomorrow have sight on them?
Though they stumble yet they fight;
Warriors their heads held upright
A lonely impulse, a fragile existence!
Death! We’re tired of its persistence.
We’re weary, we’re wounded, and we’re here to defend!
One killed by us!
One killed by them!
Another bullet! Another bomb!
Another lost! Another Saved?
Deep in the jungles of Vietnam;
War never to emerge unscathed.
