When You'Ve Seen Enough
When you have seen your buddy get beaten beyond recognition, you've seen enough
When you seen your baby girl crying so hard she lost her voice, you've seen enough,
When you've seen the receiving end of an M1 Abrams delivery of death, you've seen enough
When you've seen the look on your soul mates face that only you know she is hurt, you've seen enough
When you have seen the people you love the most disgusted with you , you've seen enough
when you've seen the guy in the mirror and you don't know who he is, you've seen enough
When I leave this world after seeing all of the above and my buddy has recovered, my baby girl is happy,
the War is over, my soul mate is happy and her pain is gone, the people I love are proud of me ,
and the guy in the Mirror is smiling back at me, as I know who he is now.
I have seen enough.
I wrote this after I saw people on line fighting with some one I love because I want every one to see that there is so much hate and anger and violence and despair in this world haven't we all seen enough ?
I know I have. My Grandfather had three words written on his grave stone. Love one Another, he was in the First World War , and you would think this world would have also seen enough ?
