The War

fighting, killing, dying everyday why did we choose to live this way? a war that no longer belongs to us worlds that we can no longer adjust we took "proper" action against those attacks now our troops are stuck in Iraq fighting for something that has no more meaning thinking we are doing the right thing by intervening we made voting possible for others true but what about our own>>>me and you? we did not choose to have this war but now our troops are being washed ashore we wanted peace and justice for all now we are crying for those that shall fall names adding up, faces unknown flags waving relentlessly flags being flown Christmas time is here right now and our troops are suffering still somehow we seem to find character in all that we do for we believe strongly in our RED, White and Blue I believe it's time to end these games and remove those whom still have names to go with bodies hearts and faces to send them home to familiar places... let all rejoice unto our own and bring our troops back home...
