Victims Of War

Hard nosed and scared,

Like a fellow who has been there.

Saw the enemy, rifles dropped,

Their war was over.

 

Would that war was so easy,

But I can tell you it's not.

Many battles remain after war,

And they are all in your head.

 

Some fellows commit suicide,

Not able to live with what they have seen.

These are the victims of war,

That no bullet could kill.

I appreciate those who have sacrificed themselves for us, and thank you George. I know my thank you could never amount to much knowing how much you have experienced, but it is honest. I do appreciate all of you and feel sadness when I think of what war is and how you all have gone to it knowing. Thank you.
