Warriors

It's a battle waged  for some wasted track of land
  desires for power and control, supremacy.
Heroes rising   to the call of God and country
  does it truly speak for freedom?
This is a warrior, a brave soldier in the service
  for right over wrong,  for good over evil
  for someone's hidden agenda.
The warrior fights,  sweats and bleeds
  and the battles rage on,
  continue endlessly.
Always-  there is another war,
  another want or need unspoken
  and the warrior 
pays the price.

Congratulations on your win. It would be nice if there were no more wars but guess that would be called heaven. Man can't seem to love. Enjoy your win and day.......
