The Horrors Of War

The ground was hard

Frozen solid by the cold.

I survived by instinct,

And want to live longer.

 

They were trying days

And nights with perils

That could take your life,

The price of war undeclared.

 

Seek not the banter

Of those whose comfort

Is secured and may never

Know the horrors of war.

So many come back and are haunted by what they have witnessed in the wars. I pray for all of them.

I am with you, George.
Those who have never felt the sting of battle
or the tragedy of war are the first to praise it.

Is war ever necessary? I couldn't imagine the horrors of war, and what those who have fought in them must endure. Thank you for your service.

Thank you for your service, George, so those of us who are basically cowards (especially me) can live in comfort for all our days...-e-
