~MAD WORLD~ A TRIBUTE

I decided to start a thread to honor our men and women whom are fighting to protect us. It is Veterans Day Wednesday and I though you could put your poems and prayers here to honor them.

American soldiers sacrifice so much,
All for the freedom of our country.

Leaving their families and heading off to war,
Not knowing what the future holds.

Working day and night
Determined to stay strong.

Watching friends be killed every day
Letters from home inspiring them to keep fighting.

So little is given to them
Although there is little to do,

For those who have died in war
We can still remember.

Remember all the men who have died.
Remember all the battles fought.

Remember all the tears families cried
Remember it was freedom the soldiers brought.

To this very day soldiers are under-appreciated.

Veterans Day is the day.

For the dead, living, and fighting soldiers.
~To be remembered~

Blessed Be

A cry for battle in every breath... the hero stands tall..
Before him lies a field of death... he gaurds a symbol behind a wall..
The eagle soaring blind... their blood is shed to command a post...
The homeland in his mind... betrayed by what he loves the most...

Rattle of the gunfire.. Thundering of bombs...
Building of the empire.. Sweating of the palms...
Remebered for a day... but do they die in vain ?
With peace so far away... they could break the fuckin chain; ▶ Reply to This

And march beneath a flag of stars.
To those in bygone days of yore,
Would strap on armour in times of war.
Now you face a faceless foe,
An enemy of all you know.
Keep your head down soldier boy,
Return again home and bring them joy.
To those that stand in time of war,
Your name is remembered when we keep score.
So to the injured, the dying, and the dead,
For those unspoken words, left yet unsaid.
I salute you one last time,
Glory, service and Honour, are never a crime.

My tribute to all who stand on a foreign field. . .; ▶ Reply to This

Thank you Mystikal :)
