Politics
The elite soldiers head jolts back,
His body thumps the ground.
Shot for untold reasons,
He never heard a sound.
So many miles he travelled,
To perish instantly,
Tears will flow back home,
The future there was to be.
A child oh so innocent,
Good family times gone by,
Parents with their lifetime lost,
Grieve and ponder why.
Brave soldier moving forward,
Never looking back,
Climbing hills and crossing streams,
Ready to attack.
Airplane pilots or driving tanks,
Manning battle ships,
Fighting on a sandy beach,
Or mud up to the hip.
Solemn gunner killing others,
Whose names are never known,
Dying faces from different places,
With loved ones of their own.
Skin of camouflage, olive, yellow, white and black,
Men, women, old and young,
Involved in the attack.
Militia comprised of Japanase, Americans or Germans.
Afghanistan and Pakistan,
Including various muslims.
All this damage and violence,
We must protect our border.
Countries filled with hatred,
We try and keep the order.
Catholics, protestants, all Christians,
Have joined the killing too.
Religious beliefs another reason,
To annihilate a few.
Russia, Korea, China,
England, France and Vietnam,
I must be leaving many out,
The list goes on and on.
Killing, slaughter, torture, ruin,
Oh war and subjugation,
Accuracy must prevail,
So we incorporate all the nations.
Senseless killing take a rest !
Will it ever cease ?
As we hope and pray each day,
That someday we’ll have peace.
- Nicholas S. Franklin
