Rising Up!

We will rise above this scarlet time,
And face our fears that cross our mind.

War doesn’t seem as if it is a small climb,
I somehow feel, we are losing in this horribly long bind.

What will it take for us to learn from our mistakes?
How long does a man have to wait, for his leader to awake?

This is not a joke, at this very moment a man is probably dying,
And his mother, wife, and child are at home crying.

His love back home can’t get him off her mind,
All she can do is wait for him to return for a small amount of time.

Besides his love back home, he has his faithful friends,
They help him forget of the war, so finally he mends.

However, this cycle will go on,
Until these leaders find another con.

But then again, if these men find another con,
This world will one day and will be gone.

So I ask myself, will it ever end, these silent screams?
Will this savage war always haunt the men’s dreams?

The last thing I remember was him telling me, what his daddy once would say,
“Son I love you, before you go on your way.”

When he walked out that door, he didn’t realize how much he hated that stupid war,
But now when I talk to him, all I seem to find is him so farly torn.

I hate it so much, I have lost my best friend,
In a war that could not be solved, but still I wrote those letters I still wish I would send.

But I am as scared as a chicken,
What if he’s different, Why do I still find myself on this key board clicking?

I should send these letter right now, so he won’t forget the amazing brotherhood we once shared,
Or the fun we had while everyone else always glared.

But brother, I just want you to know, that I look up to you above all other people,
I am honored to tell people I know you, the man who gave up his life for his fellow countries-people
