-=Of war and peace=-
Id kill my self
But I’m too late
Your war torn lives
Have made my fate
I must die
So you’ll live on
Just be free
Once I'm gone
I read of wars past
Through hieroglyph
And even there
They talk this myth
Of prosperity
And of peace of mind
I fought for this
Though it will never be mine
I fight to free those left alive
I fight to free all who survive
I fight to free with peace of mind
Helping the world I've left behind
In the 18 years I’ve loved this earth
All 18 years since my birth
If found it hard to feel free
Maybe the solution lies in me
Perhaps this is to be free
To fight and die just like me…
And as I feel my soul drift
As ask myself
Is peace a myth?
End
Id kill my self
But I’m too late

They talk this myth
Of prosperity
And of peace of mind
I fought for this
Though it will never be mine
I fight to free those left alive
I fight to free all who survive
I fight to free with peace of mind
Helping the world I've left behind
In the 18 years I’ve loved this earth
All 18 years since my birth
If found it hard to feel free
Maybe the solution lies in me
Perhaps this is to be free
To fight and die just like me…
And as I feel my soul drift
As ask myself

Comment: This was the actual comment I posted with this poem: "ok for the record though i hate war and all the pain and suffering it causes i support all our troops and any one brave enough to put themselves on the line for freedom, for their country, and for what they believe in, this poem is basically the fictional diary of a poor solider..... hope you enjoy
