It kills me to hear you say <br />That war is just a foolish game <br />That men and women dare to play <br />Well I'd like to see you last one day <br />You obviously don't see the pain <br />Or the freedom that we americans gain. <br />From those brave ones across the sea <br />The ones that mean so much to me <br />The ones who give you the right <br />To stand right there and hold that sign <br />You'll never see the world as a soldier does. <br />Youll never see that hate or feel that love. <br />You worry about work and school <br />They worry about destructive tools. <br />They worry about saving and taking lives. <br />And the freedom of their kids and wives. <br />We can't apreciate our whole ton. <br />But they are happy with the last little one. <br />So before you stand back and point you finger, <br />Listen to these words I give <br />And appreciate the life you live.<br /><br />Alyssa Marquardt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-the-foolish-american/
