My parents said their vows
        on Veterans Day

        A kinder war in a way

Why They Die

Soldiers die every day
In April,march,June and may
But that's not the reason that we cry
It's for the reason that they die

Soldiers

We are soldiers dancing in the midst of wolves 
That can’t decide whether they’re too scared to bite,
Or too hungry to wait.

Premium Member When war is no longer a game

Armies ~ soldiers called to action.
War to some is nothing but play.
The reality is quite different.

Cotton Candy Clouds

In columns of twos,
The ants march out
Like wooden soldiers,
Across the sky
To taste the swirls
Of pink 
Cotton candy clouds

The Russians by day and by night
They don't need sleep

The giants will be ants come

left marching will be the 
one's who march for Christ, 
and not for nations!

Pearl Harbor

A morning surprise,
Many soldiers sadly died.
Through the morning mist,
  The torrents of planes pierce through,
  Attempting to destroy us.

Little Toy Soldiers

little toy soldiers all in a line,
they get knocked down one at a time.
but they march on, tiny and brave,
into the sunset, into their grave.

Vlad Putin is counting the dead
As if they were soldiers of lead
No need to dwell on
As now they are gone
Vlad can cash their paychecks instead!

Stewards
Stand guard
Secure in place
Serving as loyal soldiers
Selfish souls like weeds wither

My ribcage is a battleground

My ribcage is a battleground 
Echoing with footsteps and the sound
Of soldiers in armour, soldiers in anguish
Rumors of you, as I turn into ashes

Premium Member Friendly Fire

A contradiction in terms
A fire far from friendly
It burns, maims or kills soldiers
Who came up with that?

War

Wasting of lives for things that should be peace
A fight to survive
Reluctance of soldiers who die, leaving their children and wives or husbands alone

Epigram #129:
SOLDIERS


A soldier ever prays for peace
Or dies in battle in harsh ease

A Poem To Our Soldiers

Bombs flying through the air.
Empty shell caps falling to the floor.
We salute those who fight, we remember those who died.
We wave our flag with pride
