War Heroes

We send our boys and girls of to Fight,                                                                             
In a distant country where they have no Rights.                                                               
We fight for thier freedom and a better way of Life,
So thier kids can grow up without fears of having to Fight. 
 Most will come back home , there is no Doubt, 
But some may not,thats what war is About.
  Some return to a normal Life  , 
but for others it seems they are still in a Fight  .
To see the needless slaugther of women and Children  ,
Leaves a scar on thier minds that will always Linger. 
They are told ,that only time  will make it go Away, 
 but for most im afraid its there to Stay.  
 So for our boys and girls we send of to Fight,  
We pray to God to watch over thier Life.   
 Bring them back home safe and Unharmed,  
To thier loved ones waiting with open Arms .

Sad but true tale that never ends. Perhaps you'd like my verse "propaganda" Light & Love
