War Then Death of a Brother
Four years ago today my brother Tony May passed away
A bullet in his head 51 years ago as he lay on his death bed
When we were young we played Army yet little did he know
This game would become real haunting his soul
He went to war innocent and came back as a zombie
Walking around as if he were already dead with a bullet in the head
The sights and smells of war one can only imagine
Killing another who you have never met because of war
Images never forgotten sight’s never to see again
With memories you cannot forget all because of a war
Eighteen years old selling his soul to the Devil for a war
On this day I honor you my brother for you were like no other
I miss you
My Big Brother
