Fighting and Willing

by Hollywood   Apr 8, 2009


What makes this life worth living?
What makes this war worth fighting?
Mixed feelings
Different pains
They sore through-out the night sky
Why do they fight?
Why would they risk their lives?
Especially for those who do not deserve it.

War is more than a word
War is more than a fight
War is something you head has to be into
Your head and your heart
Be willing to put your life on line for others
Be willing to fight for things you don't believe in.
Be willing to fight for those who want to fight
But are not willing to give up all they have.

Everyday people die
This everyone knows
Everyday more people are sent to this war
Once sent they feel no more
Once there their lives are half way over
Living everyday just to fight
Living everyday
For those who started this in the first place.

We have an everyday war within ourselves
Being able to put that aside
For selfish people
For people who do not care what is going on
with the economy or wars within themselves.
My heart wrenches with the thought
Of blood being poured upon the ground
My heart wrenches for those who are Fighting and
Willing.

Some people would find a way out
Find a way out of going to war
Breaking their leg,feet,arms or some other way
But that is the sissy way.
I thank everyone
Who is up and about willing to fight.
Not finding an excuse to stay home
But going out there to prove to themselves
and their country that what they are doing
is not right but they are up for the fight.

These people are fighting and willing.

(not a very awesome one but something worth reading..I would love everyones comments on their views on the war.)

    I like. War is just a manifestation of our anger in my opinion to be taken out on others because they won't give what they have to another. That's just my opinion. Sometimes I wish we could put down the weapons and finally understand each other.
