Warrior Contest

My warrior, my friend, my brother a true hero I have seen what war does to a man firsthand through my brother Tears, hate, sleepless night’s and story’s told A uniform with medals drenched in blood A purple heart with a bullet only seen through a ex-ray Touching the spine of the one who received it Proud to serve his country yet, sadness for those who died Killing people of the unknown for no reason Men in suits in a great white-house giving orders, To men they have never met Giving up their innocents for a life time of nightmares Dying alone without a gravestone My brother Without a maker of stone above his grave For those he fought for Brothers in battle The 196th light infantry Vietnam September 16th 1968 Wounded in Battle Contest: Warrior Sponsored by: Silent One Date: 07/11/202

Well said. It reminds me of a song recently heard again, sung or spoken clearly by Richard Harris, "There are too many Saviors on my cross."
