Letter to a Solider
(Dedicated to someone very special in my life)
Now that it is over
you are left sitting
in the dark
While memories of
nightmares keep you
awake, and you wish
you could take it all
away
A piece of you lost
buried in the desert
forever, trying to pick
up all the broken pieces
I have seen the pain
within your eyes,
now you feel less then
you use to be for all
your suffering
And now that you are
home, so many of your
brothers and sisters still
fighting for their lives
and all for nothing but
lies
How the youth has lost
so much, more then they should
barely entering adulthood
they have seen more then many
an older man ever would
Their bodies have been
broken and their minds
left shattered, and for what
you might ask,
not to protect you or me
not to liberate the oppressed
but for one mans war lust
and insufficiency
So close your eyes
and try to sleep, I will
wash away your pain,
and wipe away the tears.
