War


What are we truly fighting for?

As mankind continues at war. 

Some might say it leads only to misery.

War to war

Death by death

Soldiers facing obstacles we dare not speak of.

If only Mr.Bush hadn't sent our troops.

If only he had a child serving.

I feel pity for the mothers who have lost a son.

I feel terror for the innocent of Iraq.

Their country is not secure.

And neither is ours.
