Get a Grip!
Reality is not just what you see, but others too!

 


I woke from the dead!


 


Those brave soldiers keep on killing


Their nightmares be stilling


Tell stories of the brave and the willing


 


And others sing a similar hymn


To souse the ache in their kin


Of past glories they sing


 


But they know deep within their referee


Was not about the brave and the free


Not them, but others, they could see


 


Wrap themselves in the flag


Like a queen or a fag


Looks more like a drag


 


 


Right from wrong


Many a song


But you followed the throng


 


The innocent burned alive for your glory


Ever listen to their story


You were gross and gory


 


That’s; who you are


You reached for a star


But left a big scar


 


You pray for your dead


But you tread


Pray for the innocent instead


 


God in his glory


Will know your true story


Watch out, you’ll be sorry


 


Go ahead lay your story to glory and fame


Brought nothing but torture and shame


To your country and its good name!

War truly is Hell on Earth, and it's usually the ones who do not have to endure it, that are the biggest war mongers.

Welcome back my friend.
Let's all of us keep on heaping shame on their heads as you do here - one day they'll have to listen.

Beautifully and clearly stated. War is Hell and our pride (?) is sending our young people there in droves. Right On! Write On!
