Eduardo Rojas Poem
Defending my life against your enemies.
The ones that will tear my flesh from bone.
The ones that will put steel through the air.
Raining down as we sleep, get to the bunker.
All the weight from the gear and the ammo.
Weighing me down, boots to the ground.
The one that will cut through my throat.
While his buddy enjoys a few smokes.
Fighting my sleep and fighting fatigue,
Because I am defending my life against your enemies.
Killing your enemies with the guns you provide.
Bombarding the ones with bombs you provide.
Tracking them down with satellites high in the sky.
They would do the same to us with the guns you provide.
Bombard our convoys with the bombs you provide.
Shoot us the hell up with ammo you provide.
Still Im killing your enemies with the guns you provide.
Now Im all alone with the nightmares you gave me.
I fought for my country now it cannot save me.
I am not bitter because they did always pay me.
You and your enemies are like thorns in my ass.
Because I judge my day on how much bloods in the grass.
Blood which makes the green grass grow,
Blood that’s dripping from my hands.
Killing the ones who will kill me.
Killing the ones who will kill me for you.

Eduardo Rojas Poem
All along the concrete jungle a silence is heard, throughout the streets above & below.
A child is weeping ever so low. If you listen closely, hear the tears hitting the cold floor,
the slamming of doors, wanting of more. Listen closely, dont be distracted, for if you
are you will miss that the child is acting and actually laughing. Laughing at you and
laughing at me. Chuckles of hate, snickers of pain, LOL ROTFL LMFAO! Laughing at
you and laughing at me. Look at the sound, do you see what I see. See that this life
of pain, that he is living in. he is hurting inside but hopeful and praying that the other
side, might hold a better life. A life that is totally unlike this, His smile is make believe,
like a clown wearing his frown upside down. For you see its a fantasy to be happy
when you are his expression. He wants to express get the all of it off his chest. But he
knows whats best, lock it away, there it will stay. Til he reaches the other side and
unlocks it to play. Tossing out used needles day after day. Lol is al I can say. This side
is like that side,, outside the box is a mirror image of inside with nowhere to hide. His
little world seems redundant and lame. Playing a game. Cat & mouse where he is the
cat and we are the mice. We play the game for all of our lives. His smile is pain and the
source of his hate, comes deep rooted in pain, no pain no gain, or so they say. Ooops
up side his head! Do the cross, say good nite to mommy and off to bed. Only to awake
to the same thing on different day. He is smiling now but will be crying later, cheesin
right now til the pain sets in later, He is laughing right now so that he can scream it out
later!!!

Eduardo Rojas Poem
Choose Me
You can use me and abuse me
And still never lose me
All I want is you to choose me
In time you will see
The extent of your sons loyalty
Like knowing the sun will rise
And the night rising right before your eyes
You can hit me and kick me
And still never bruise me
All I want is you to choose me
This love undying crawls through soil
Towards your capsule of time
Your history and dreams are buried
With you laid to rest
Your beautiful voice never again will be heard
Like an angel screaming down to earth
All the while the world still burns
Just like my love deep down
This heart of mine
Take it and break it
But the love inside for you
Could never be shaken
Only strengthened
Never again will I be used or abused
Not by you
All I want is for you to choose
Choose me
