Do you remember?

Do you remember,
I remember,
We were the ones,
The ones who were there,
We came as many,
We left as few,
We were told we won the battle,
Deep down inside we say other wise,
Was it really worth it,
Did we make you happy,
Did we stop the fighting,
Did we satisfy your hunger,
Did we become stronger,
Did we become legends,
Did we bring you pride,
Did we save our race,
Or did we do the exact opposite,
Cities in ruin,
People lie shattered,
Little children cry from starvation and loneliness,
Those who were there remain shells of what they used to be,
Those who were lucky remain one with the earth,
Those who were not remain broken and live half a life,
The families are torn the hearts are smashed,
The tables are turned as everyone questions WHY!
Why did it have to be my son,
Why did it have to be my daughter,
Why did it have to be my father,
Why did it have to be my mother,
Why my cousin,
Why my sister,
Why my brother,
WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was there,
I saw it all,
I done my good,
I done my bad,
The world is new,
The technology great,
The people were great,
My friends were the best,
Where are my friends,
Did they reach the boat,
Did they cross the great Atlantic,
Did they live through the horrors of the trench,
They did not make it did they,
Ricky,
Johnny,
Mark,
There gone,
They were my friends,
Where are they now,
They escaped this world through a painful way,
The whistle was blown we ran far together as one,
I made it I made it,
Why did they not make it,
What is so great about me,
I am no better they had families,
Families to love and be loved by,
My friends I loved
The ones I remember,
Cheers to my fellas in France,
Cheers to my friends in Belgium,
Cheers to my buddies in Poland,
May your days be happy,
May your days be grand,
One day I will join you,
Someday we will be one with the earth
Never will you be forgotten,
Everyone one of you I will always remember.
