Letter to a Solider

(Dedicated to someone very special in my life)

 

Now that it is over

you are left sitting

in the dark

 

While memories of

nightmares keep you

awake, and you wish

you could take it all

away

 

A piece of you lost

buried in the desert

forever, trying to pick

up all the broken pieces

 

I have seen the pain

within your eyes,

now you feel less then

you use to be for all

your suffering

 

And now that you are

home, so many of your

brothers and sisters still

fighting for their lives

and all for nothing but

lies

 

How the youth has lost

so much, more then they should

barely entering adulthood

they have seen more then many

an older man ever would

 

Their bodies have been

broken and their minds

left shattered, and for what

you might ask,

not to protect you or me

not to liberate the oppressed

but for one mans war lust

and insufficiency

 

So close your eyes

and try to sleep, I will

wash away your pain,

and wipe away the tears.
