MEN DIVIDED
Place a man in battle,
Give him a gun,
Expect him to kill
To survive...
Thousands of men working for a government
With little regard for their lives…
Put a man into battle
All for the sake of saving a place… called America .
Train a solider to look past his brother’s face
And call him an enemy, a disgrace.
Both sides ask their soldiers
To kill the other side,
Innocent enemies divided by an arbitrary line.
Ask a man to shoot…to kill… to honor one’s country
Who robs from us all…
Soldiers
Prepared to die,
Trained to sacrifice.
For a country –
Of people who want to give up the fight.
We call it America ,
Home of the brave,
Then why are we so afraid?
