All the soldiers can think on is the sweet taste of victory <br />Can’t show hatred for the soldiers they defend this country <br />Only thing I feel for is the fallen ones not knowing their history <br />Don’t know about Bush his undeniable lies <br />Denounces peace and let the slugs fly <br />He let’s the casket fall slowly as the family cries <br />Petitions need to be signed so we can crush this elite defense <br />But I believe in change with Obama may do so…but war still intense <br />Writing wrongs can’t be done by watching the sky <br />We need to make a change before any more families cry <br />If this occurs despite my age I’ll try <br />No longer can’t hide in the trenches <br />Or watch the war on the other side of fences <br />Can’t flinch at the guns and run as the length of war stretches <br />Can’t be scared to walk to stop people from dying in Iraq <br />We haven’t even fixed home yet our country suffers from a heart attack <br />I can’t promise a change will be made <br />But I can promise that this country heart will stay intact and not fade <br />Won’t fade in the dark abyss or be burned in polluted acid rain <br />Rather run through the rain unscathed and carry on through the pain <br />Through this bewildering, strange, and crazed world we can make it through this faze<br /><br />Leland Wright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/militant/
