For Freedom!

by Jack Nightengale   May 4, 2010


Fighting for what we believe is right,
Disabling my enemies so that they can't fight.
Following foolish leaders I'm not sure I can trust,
Fighting from dusk to dawn until my body turns to dust.

Following the orders of those appointed over me,
Fighting to protect my loved ones and country comes free.
Showing our enemies that we have a spine,
While spilling their blood as if it were whine!

    Nice writing ! loved the wording.

    but i am against such stupid wars. in which innocents are killed more than the guilty ones.. i know you are confused about the orders u have to follow. but as a human we should know what is right , and what is wrong. thats why we are human... we have been turned into puppets. Created Monsters. dont mind brother but these wars are not for the greater good.. they are just for their personal reasons..
