A baby is born on a bright sunny day, <br />Soldiers dying in Iraq today. <br />Business men with their hot latte, <br />Soldiers hiding their fears away. <br />Children frolic, running around, <br />Soldiers dead on the battleground. <br />Stars fill the sky on a summers' night, <br />Soldiers fighting, shooting on sight. <br />People on the beach with a golden tan, <br />Soldiers had to fight in Viet-Nam. <br />Teenagers drinking Cola, eating pizza pie, <br />Soldiers very young, waiting to die. <br />Boys kissing girls up on lovers lane, <br />Soldiers fight in the heat... die in the rain. <br />Boyfriend and girlfriend take in a show, <br />Soldiers in Korea, they froze in the snow. <br />A wife shops for food in the grocery store, <br />Soldiers have to fight for a year in this war. <br />Workers are proud of the streets they pave, <br />Soldiers buried in an unmarked grave. <br />Lovers talking on the telephone, <br />Soldiers wounded in a battlezone. <br />Priests bury soldiers whey they die, <br />Mothers and Fathers never understand why!<br /><br />Philip Lore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-world-back-home-the-soldiers-life/
