The Mother of a Soldier Asks [When You Coming Home?]

A cause you don't believe in An education that you need People you got no fight against- Yet a politician's creed Shame to stay And risk to go "When you coming home?" This war was not your choosing Motions of a song and dance. Either draft or be enlisted, It was anybody's chance Wished to stay And not to go "Will you ever come back home?" Can't find the words to tell her This deck of cards was stacked. Someone else must inform her You won't be coming back. Hope is slim And love won't go "But if only he had just come home."
