Street Soldiers

by aisyned   Jan 21, 2007


There are soldiers on the street,
fighting for their life,
they can't fight for us,
because their own life is a strife,

they sell dope to get money,
to pay for their families,
stealing thing's,
just to survive acting like bullies,

Being rejected cause there poor,
black,white, all different races,
and the people with bad teeth,
can't even afford braces,

but they are still fighting,
like soldiers some have guns
ask them how many wars they have been in,
their answer would be millions,

they aren't helped,
or appreciated for protecting there families,
the only thing we go,
when we find them dead on the street we dispose of their bodies,

your right they aren't USA soldiers,
but they have to fight just to stay alive,
they have to steal and fight,
just to survive,

but no they aren't important,
only the USA soldiers,
but they are soldiers,
not failures,

they weren't handed good life on a plate,
everyday in there neighbor a fight occurs,
and someone dies out of a war,
so take time and pray not only for USA soldiers but also for the street soldiers.........................

    I agree with you 100% on everything you said. Its so god damn true! People are too caught up in their lives to see that its a struggle for some people to see tomorrows light, to survive. I think these people "street soldiers" living out on the streets and making the most of what they have are the real soliders. They're the ones who should be on the news, getting medals and recognition. They are the true heroes.
