I will never be apart of a radical movement, <br />except for the one inside the soul <br />that pits the spirit against the ghost- <br /> <br />and I don't suppose I will ever live <br />in a country where I feel at home- <br />because I am young and restless. <br />Believer in duty and cause <br />while men fight on foreign soil <br />then return home to become hero’s- <br />there is no real selflessness left <br />in the world <br /> <br /> <br />What a shame to serve the god of self <br />for I am told: <br />there is no such thing as holy war, <br />only sticks and stones from heretics <br />who like to think so.<br /><br />Amberlee Carter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/straddling-the-sword/
