kneeling in blood soaked earth
fathers, sons, brothers, children
sent to die for a noble cause.
fighting in a foreign land.
you are all considered a band.
bullets passing through human tissue.
in war this is the minor issue.
bombs detonating in midair.
watch your fellow man die in your arms.
those you knew for but a short time, like family.
the enemy dieing, men from afar.
nothing to hear but the screams of men.
some calling for their wives, their mothers.
your hearing, sight, life, taken for this cause.
yet you stand, fight, a valiant group.
a band of brothers.
some come home in wheelchairs.
others still able to walk.
but some come home in coffins.
white crosses cover the fields.
all gave their life for what they were told was right.
this band of brothers, together in war, together in death.
here you go all, hmm, me thinks there may be some talent left on this earth.
as for my daily life nothing new, 26th, a great day for me my system in my car is being hooked up so be prepared. |
