To Hell and Back -------------------------------------------
night and day it sinks in more
a short time left and its off to war
to fight beside my brothers in arms
i proudly stand with them arm to arm
it seems as though our fates are sealed
less and less the wounds are healed
bullets are shot to end our lives
wounds are deepened by sharpened knives
but at last an opening to an end
Angel's protection the Good Lord sends
three long years we've fought and died
some are left where they lie
the war is won and we are free
to go on home to our families
a memory in my mind will stay
of when we fought for that September day
It is an alright piece. I stumbled over to fight beside my brothers in arms i proudly stand with them arm to arm, because of the double arms. I didn't know the war was over though. People are still dying over there, my cousin Jay isn't home yet. Al qaeda hasn't been destroyed, and we haven't discovered yet that we are fighting terrorism in vain as people will never stop rebelling against the good, and terror will never be stopped completely. I wish you the best of luck in your future years and hope things come out good for you in hte end. Peace and love. -rue
I mainly liked the eye opening aspects of this poem, it's nice to dedicate something to the troops, i didn't see it as rebellious, it was very realistic not all negative not all positive.
i like this alot but don't forget the SISTERS ha ha j/k i like this like i said and i think u should keep writing. its a good way to vent and celebrate! keep up the awesome work! love tina
