War Poem

The noises of the war cry in my ears

Suddenly I remember all of my fears

A man yells next to me, “Grenade, Grenade!”

As I run, I wish I were home drinking the sweet, sweet taste of Lemonade

Oh, I hope I do not die

I do not wish to see my family cry

As a man is shot down next to me

I think, “When will the war get me?”

As I fight for America, The brave, strong, and true

Thousands are dying for the Red, White, and Blue
