Forgotten Heroes

"A war with no Heroes."


Its was about becoming a unit

through it we became friends.

Its about those 4 year commitments

and seeing it to the end.

Its about facing your fears 

not just facing the enemy.

To be strong in our colors

wasn't just about vanity.

Its about the memories we made

and the laughs we all share.

We never thought it was a game

no ones going to die here.

We were there for a reason

we held our weapon with pride

and the orders you question

were made to keep us alive.



It was never about, 

who's playing our current president.

Why do they ignore us 

and think of only the government?

Who sitting at home 

safe in their polished desks,

do you really think they could last

through one week of this?

And those peace speaking liberals

who greet us like the plague,

pushing their poster in our faces

like they wished we were dead.

And the blood hungry media

we're all used to your game,

we say we're proud of this war

and you just push us away.

Your not looking for heroes

but for something much better,

like someone who fights wars 

to get his name in the paper.



And to all those who think 

that no war is justified,

what world do you live in?

Your idiocy is homicide.

The loss of 3,000 souls

and the grief of their family.

Should we not have fought back

because you think wars are to messy?

And wouldn't they try again

with not consequences to fear.

How long till it happens

every couple of months to a year.

What will the next target be

and how many more must die.

Who's spouse will be hostage

who's children will be under fire.



You say we were to aggressive?

Wake up, life just not fair.

They made the choice to mess with us,

the outcome should have been clear.

Someone in our history said,

"Speak softly and carry a bit stick."

And when they chose not to listen

thats when you give it to them quick.

Don't sugar coat it with apologizes

let me tell you my 'friend'

you try to recreate 9-11,

and this will happen again.

Message of a Ghost

Forever and ever

the boy would live

a ghost who could never

himself forgive,

that day playing by the pool

he drowned

his small pale white body

his sister found.

His mother and father

screamed and cried

for their little angel

had so tragically died,

on his sixteen year old sister

was laid all the blame

now she torments herself

have the parents no shame.

But her pain he couldn’t

take away

and she grew paler

every day,

He tried to reach her

but he couldn’t

she started to do things

he knew she shouldn’t.

He tried to stop

her bleeding wrists

but the blood just flowed

through his small fists,

and every time

she cut herself

the little ghost boy

only blamed him self.

Eight years old

the day he died

his whole life he never

would have made her cry,

its all his fault that

her life was in flames

because no one else

would take the blame.

But he could do nothing

to make her life better

so with her blood

he wrote out a letter,

“I love you,” he wrote

on the wall

“It was never your fault

after all.”

The confused ghost boy

reached her too late

and the little ghost boy

transformed with hate,

around her dying body he flew

a hideous master piece he drew.

A picture of the family

they once were

And one last message,

“Does no one care about her?”

To take her soul

The demons arrived

“Take mine not hers,”

The little boy cried.

With a glint in his eye

The demon agreed,

To the gates of heaven,

The girls soul was freed.

But the boy the demons

Did not take,

He roams the world

Eyes cold with hate.

But sometimes you

might feel his cold hand,

he tells you your pain

he understands.

And every girl

that cuts her wrists,

reminds him painfully

of his older sis.

Playing With Fate

Battle with Fate

Do you really think,
that you have what it takes
there is no room for small mistakes. 
Can't you see I'm still ten moves ahead,
so go ahead and panic, cause your dead.

Like I would panic,
I'll just ignore your voice
this is still my life, I have a choice.
I'm no actor to your script,
there are no strings to make this puppet trip.

Fool face reality,
try looking at your last move
if you could go back, what would you prove?
There goes that loved one and your career,
just face it you have no power here.

Still I wont give in,
my heart will heal, I'll get another chance, 
there's more to life then working and romance.
I'll do the best with what I have
the soul finds hope even when its sad.

Wake up dreaming child,
Scream and kick as much as you like,
the fallen pieces prove the fact I'm right.
No mater how clever the move you make,
in the end, even that soul of yours will break.

Nothings impossible,
miracles happen every day,
all I need do is have a little faith and pray.
That heaven will guide me as I live,
I'll learn to show compassion and forgive.

It's getting boring now,
religion is the desperate move of man,
praying to a god that won't listen.
I have you cornered, its to late,
the game is over, its checkmate.
