You Have A Question?
~By Seven
War? What is war?
Is it men dying for their country?
Or men just dying?
Is it people fighting for what they believe in?
Or people just fighting?
Its suffering, horrendous suffering
Young men, barely older or younger than yourselves
Being murdered,
Cursing through thick mud that seduces them,
Sucking them down, down deep into its cavern,
Where death will feast on their young innocent flesh,
There’s nothing you can do, you call out to them,
Begging them to move to break free, but its too late,
They’re gone, and will never be coming back!
Lieutenants watch as their adopted sons die, slowly,
Their fragile bodies plunging deep into the
The mud…Suffocating… drowning…
Screaming for someone to help them,
Pleading for you to help them
But you don’t…you just walk away,
Leaving their withered bodies to slowly rot away
These memories will haunt you forever…
