My Brothers Blood

---

The bullet grazes my skin No fear, no shock For they tell me I train to win As I blaze the desert, my gun cocks And as I run a brother I see; On the desert ground; lifeless And I can't help but think Of his family and thier unknown crisis And so calmly I grab his body And pull it to the side Clear from all the bombing So his family can say "goodbye"

Very, very touching. A soldier who would risk his own life to bring back the body of someone's friend or loved one is someone worth enormous respect. Sometimes I wonder where you get your inspiration from. Your works seem to appear sporadically but are all based on very strong, touching subjects. You have a gift, my friend. Dont' lose it. With Love, Jacob

Jeeeeez. I wish..I hope that the friends and family I have serving overseas would do this for someone....or someone would do this for us if something were to happen. I've seen family and friends come back to Iraq and go ove rrepeatively. Soldiers are heros in all senses. You've captured that well. BCute<3

This was extremely sad. It's hard for me to think of all the soldiers out there who risk there lives to save ours, without feeling like I'm going to cry. I recently read an e-mail about how most of us take for granted, all that we have. We sleep in, they stay up for days on end, we take a nice warm long shower, they go for weeks without any water, we complain of a headache or feeling sick, they get shot and wounded. And this, well this just put it even more in perspective. Great work. Very sad, but still, you did a great job at writing this. ~Piper

This is very sad. It reminded me about a poem I read once. I can't remember the name or the poet, but if I do, I'll let you know. That was about how very few people care about when one man dies in a war, but there is his friend who sheds one tear, and puts a flower on his body and continues fighting the battle. It was something like this, but both had their different styles. Very heartfelt, Abbas
