Soldiers Song Sung

Confoundly forward marches the soldiers bravely twords the war On going is the beat of the drum that leads these men To where the single trumpet plays a rebeling score A battle ground where battles implore gore, the grapheties of war The generals encharge more, once again obeastities twords the poor This includes those enchored, the entangled, the ignored War, it's so upstrangled, oh and I disincluded those forced So have I yet struck a displaced chord, should I this poem abort Caught between the memories, the struggle just to make it through An empty wide open, and the millions of motions which gracefully do Fought where theres freedom, brought here just for you Those feelings make you an empty crew, fight it, don't get blue Because now in this silience it's just me and you Nothing more left here that will ever be new I walked ten miles tonight Attention diverted arms draw up tight I surrenered the time To get the answers right The question forever there remains the same I am no longer there, your to blame Spinning circles emotions bringing forth the cause I felt the whole world open putting that time on pause The dawn begins at zero hour The canyons flames burn at its blistering bowels The range is now a burning ridge My thoughts are now only a burning bridge My eyes feel so empty without you in by my side It hurts so much the whole crew got caught in the fight With unswept memories I only stir though the night I've wept, I've prayed, and then I cried Searching for an answers of why you died

Such driving emotions here. "Freedom", yet "blue". I can only imagine the inspiration behind this writing. Nicely done!
