I Went To War
I went to war, not of my own choice. I put my life on the line for my country, but my country did not put their life on the line for me. This war is a cruel and unjust war; they will not let me win.
I went to war, I even saw women and children killed, I saw young men, like myself, died for no reasons, and I saw grown men out of fear, frustration cry and weep over those who died.
Today, I am still at war; I see in the eyes of those who served, I see their pain, the suffering and their anger. I know how they feel, I’ve been there, and I am still living you see in a war I cannot win.
