The Soldier

I fought the battle, I lost the war; I never saw the enemy sitting open on the shore I knew that it was over, I saw the fight was done; I was killed by a bullet from another son's gun I laid there bleeding, I yelled a silent scream, "Why was my life over, is this real or just a dream?" I never felt it coming, my body - my buddies now claim; my life has now been ended... I lost - what a damn awful shame! For "World Of War: Vietnam" contest sponsored by Miranda Lambert. By: George Aul
