Sight of blood/ cry of pain
Another soldier lies wounded
But you’ll never know his name
Cause those with the power above,
Work for He, who lurks below
And only offer lies or the truths
They want you to know
So, you can go on thinking that this war
Isn’t really that bad
But go and say that to a family,
Who’s lost a son or dad.
I dare you to say that to
A soldier who’s lost his comrade
So you can see the truth/ hold it within your eyes
The effect this war is having on so many lives
The destruction of peace of mind.
About the Creator
Edward Val
I'm a poet by nature and a Soldier by trade and my writing reflects my experiences not only in life but also in war. I use writing as way to express myself and deal with the horrors I've seen and hope my words can help my fellow Veterans.
